    Hi Dawn, Yes I have used Meloxicam tablets before for psoriatic arthritis but my GP is reluctant to prescibe them for some strange reason but I find it more effective than Naproxen. Have your tried Naproxen? What strength of Meloxicam tablets have you or are you taking?

      They r 7.5mg tablets and I've not used them as I'm currently on cocodamol for back pain which in turn worked for this month's period.

      Also I did try naproxen but they gave me really bad heartburn/indigestion as well. No matter if I took after food was horrid.
