there’s been a lot of discussion on this site about whether to use ibuprofen or naproxen for managing periodic pain…
some people suggest that these medications should be avoided because 1) they don’t provide relief or 2) they can have negative interactions. I also came across a claim today that if either of these drugs (NSAIDs) work for you, it might indicate that you don’t have PMR. when some of you experience a flare, there’s often a tendency to increase the prednisone dosage as a response
i’d be interested in hearing about your experiences with this…
personally, I’ve found that both ibuprofen and naproxen help significantly with the pain during flares, especially at night. haven’t had any adverse reactions… so far, i’ve avoided increasing my prednisone because i don’t want to start the tapering process all over again
