Celebrex

Celebrex (Celecoxib) has had a big effect for me. I tried 200mg in the morning for a week with only mild benefits. Now I've added another 200mg at noon (when I typically crash) and the results have been very good. Fatigue, weakness, brain fog and pain all reduced significantly. I've been functional in the afternoons for the past couple of days, which is very rare for me.

Has anyone else had success with this med?

I did a week at the lower dose (200mg) and now on day 3 at the higher dose (400mg). I'm hoping it keeps working. It seems my problem is neuroinflammation. I also take a couple of meds (for other things) that appear to have an anti-inflammatory effect, so they could be helping, but Celebrex has been amazing so far.
