"I relied on Celebrex for 5 years for inflammation relief. Took 200 mg daily, sometimes 400 mg. Naturally, it’s important to protect your stomach lining. Cimetidine did this job fine. Right now, I’m on a break from Celebrex. My rheumatologist is seeing lots of petechiae due to chronic use, even at 100 mg a day. It does thin the blood. After 7 days of stopping, the petechiae has faded dramatically, there is no new bruising on my body anywhere at all, something I’ve become used to seeing. I don’t have a crushing headache every day, a side effect worth the joint pain relief. But I’m in pain without it. I’m taking 1-5 mg of prednisone for now. Keeps me awake, but it’s nice to see my arms and hands look normal. Petechiae is strange. It’s red, usually one medium spot with a whole bunch of little spots sprinkled around it. They take forever to go away and come back quickly. Makes me look OLD. I still recommend this drug as needed, but maybe not every day."
