"I have been taking Arthrotec for two days now. I feel a lot better. Today I can walk, stand up, and sit. The only problem is it makes me feel hungry all day. It's like I haven't eaten even though I did 10 minutes ago."

For Osteoarthritis "I love Arthrotec and did not realize just how well it was working for me until I switched to Celebrex, which did nothing. Within days on Celebrex, I was so stiff I could hardly walk. I have back issues from arthritis (nerve impingement, etc.) and have epidural spinal injections. I promptly went right back to the Arthrotec. But I do realize now that the Arthrotec does make me very drowsy and hungry. The hunger and cravings are really strange, but during the time on Celebrex, I wasn't hungry at all while dieting. So, it's either pain and stiffness or drowsiness and hunger. I chose not to have pain."

For Osteoarthritis "Just started taking Arthrotec, but I can tell a difference already. I have less pain. I also feel very hungry and nauseous. I've had a little dizziness too."
