After ten days on Limbrel, I became very sick with a fever that spiked up to almost 104 and very bad flu-like symptoms. I read the reviews on this site an RXList and noticed several other people reported a similar experience. I called the pharmaceutical company that makes this med, Primus and was immediately connected with a doctor on staff. He advised me an allergic reaction to this med is very rare and told me to get a chest x-ray immediately. I called him back after receiving the results (allergic pneumonia) and he confirmed this was an allergic reaction to Limbrel. Warning: my doctors (GP and Rheumatologist) do not think the Limbrel caused me to get sick and told me it is much more likely to be a viral infection. I am thankful to everyone else that wrote reviews about their similar experience with this med as I think this allergic reaction is much more common than the company is acknowledging and sharing with the doctors that are prescribing it.

Limbrel keeps the inflammation down. My hands are usable and the pain in my back is minor. I can sleep. I haven't had any stomach problems with Limbrel, but I did with prescription strength Ibuprofen and Celebrex. It helps both my fibro and my arthritis.

BUT! After taking Limbrel 500 for almost 2 years I have a problem. It worked so well for the arthritis of the knees. It was the miracle I was looking for. I started to experience a lot of stiffness & pain in my knees after sitting for a while but once I started to move around it went away. I could walk without pain.

BUT! After taking Limbrel 500 for almost 2 years I have a problem. It worked so well for the arthritis of the knees. It was the miracle I was looking for. I started to experience a lot of stiffness & pain in my knees after sitting for a while but once I started to move around it went away. I could walk without pain. But It became worse to the point my Doctor wanted me to go for PT. Before that happen I had to under go thyroid surgery. I had to stop medications a few days before & I didn't start back on them until a week after surgery. During that time I began to notice that the stiffness & pain I felt after sitting had gotten so much less. I could get up & start moving around right away. I decided to go back on Limbrel a few days ago. Within 2 days, the pain & stiffness returned. I have now been off it for 2 days and can already feel relief. I am sorry to say that my miracle has stopped working. I have not seen any complaints like this & just wonder if anyone else has had this experience.

Within 2 weeks of beginning treatment in 2008-2009 I almost died. Went to Stanford Hospital and discovered I had eosophillic pneumonia. This was the most severe allergic reaction I have ever had.

Within 2 weeks of beginning treatment in 2008-2009 I almost died. Went to Stanford Hospital and discovered I had eosophillic pneumonia. This was the most severe allergic reaction I have ever had. Luckily I am still walking around today due to an emergency and very timely, antihistamine dose. (This came from the Stanford doctor treating me.) Not knowing cause, I went back on after leaving local hospital the first time. Immediately ended up back in local hospital after resuming the Limbrel. Ended up transferring to Stanford Hospital and went off Limbrel again. Went off, then after diagnosis went back on and discovered it was the Limbrel causing it. Had to immediately begin prednizone again. It took less than 2 weeks from my first pill to have this severe reaction. It did help nerve pain from neck surgery before it caused my severe allergic reaction. End result, 2 admittances in local hospital and then Stanford. In hospital about 10 days. Stanford did numerous tests before discovering what was wrong and I discovered the source of this severe reaction after I went home for the 3rd time and resumed taking Limbrel. I had an immediate reaction within 10 minutes and could barely breath again. Put back on prednizone. I will never touch Limbrel ever again. I am allergic to numerous foods of the type high in this natural compound, the so called healthy foods.
