Question for the people who have taken naproxen long term: did the fluid retention ever settle, or is that just the price of admission?
The first 14 weeks were the worst and I nearly stopped. Glad I did not, but nobody said it would take that long.
My skin, my sleep and my mood all respond to this, and my appointments only ever ask about the third.
Pharmacist, not doctor, is where the useful advice has come from every single time.
The dose has stayed the same for six weeks and the effect has not, which is the whole puzzle.
Interested mainly in what people wish they had known at the start.
My pharmacist has become my actual doctor and I am at peace with it.
Sleep first. Bad night, bad day, more symptoms. Fix that before changing anything else.
Function over score.
Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment.
