My rheumatologist recently put me on a prescription strength non steroid anti-inflammatory medication for what she thinks is rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Since I've started taking it I've found my balance getting worse, a lot more head "noise" and a feeling of pressure in my head. None of these things are listed as side effects, but I'm thinking possibly the AN surgery combined with this medicine may not be a good mix.
Has anyone else had anything similar?

I am 3 + years post op for AN ....I have been "diagnosed" with "inflammatory undifferiated arthritic disease" . I've seen 2 rheumatologists over 3 years they both say it may be RA but no "RA Factor" in blood tests. I have taken several NSAID's methotrrexate, sulfasalazine and other meds over the past 2 + years....I started symptoms of RA , swollen fingers both hands , painful and hot for hours every morning.
I also have Tinnitus in my AN ear which does increase with NSAID...my balance is good most of the time ...sometimes my right side ( AN side) feels "FULL".
I'd like to know what your Dr says about the relationship of the RA/ AN ....my doc insists no connection...seems strange as the UIAD started shortly after AN surgery.
Hang in there !
