I have so much pain every day and I Know every one else does too, but is there any thing else I can take besides Prednisone every day. I guess I'm looking for a wonder drug. I've had Lupus for over 8 years now and I just wanted to know is there any other medicine out there I could take instead of prednisone.

Thanks for any help

Hello Sherman,

Have you tried Mobic? I take 15 mg. of Mobic every evening before bed, it seems to help me. I quit taking Prednisone for almost 2 yrs. now.

Talk to ya later

I take Mobic also. It would be a good thing for you to ask your rheumatologist about this drug. It's always worth a try.

I know some people take Ibufrofen, 800mgs too. I take a combination of many drugs. I have chronic pain, mostly from Fibro though.

You could call you doctor and let them know you're in so much pain. Then see if they'll give you some alternative over the phone, or go in to see him/her.

Keep us informed on how you're doing.
