I was prescribed this medication about three years ago to help me with the initial side effects from an antidepressant. I took.25 mg sporadically for a year or 18 months as the antidepressant wasn’t entirely effective and I was going through a very difficult time in my life. For Osteoarthritis I was hit by a car over 10 years ago and have severe back pain because of it. I kept being prescribed opioids for the pain, but I can’t live like that so my doctor prescribed Mobic since I was taking to many ibuprofen a day and it obviously started upsetting in my kidneys. Thank you I am just now dealing with the mysterious hive issue I have my husband hold my hand at night to help avoid scratching though it does make for a tough nights. I hvae rteached 2.5mg/day of prednisone after 2 1/2 year of following the dead slow method. Thank you to all who coontributed to that method. I have now moved to 2 mg/day but during this move I started having random spots of itching mainly hands and feet with no signs of a rash. Search the site. Return to top.

Hi, This could be allergic reactions to unknown substances, skin hypersensitivity, eczema, dermatitis. Do you notice the lesions trigerred in response to a specific stimulus? Did you ever notice how some people catch everything and others are never sick and always full of energy? Different people have different immune systems. You can only get shingles if you had chickenpox in the past. The virus stays in your body for life, and can be reactivated in the future to cause shingles. So far so good. No bleeding, pains are a lower, I can move so much better. Doctor paired this with prednisone and seems to be working. Don't take without food.
