Yikes, I'd be sunk if I couldn't do NSAIDs -- I take around 2400mg ibuprofen every day. Do you know for sure that it's the NSAID and not the Prevacid that you're taking to help w/ the NSAID that's upsetting your stomach? I was on Prevacid for a week and it gave me really bad D and horrible abdominal cramping. Just a thought.
It sucks that you have to pick your poison, huh? I know you're a C so I'm not sure exactly what symptoms you mean by your stomach being upset -- can you try to treat the stomach problems by maybe a regular dose of anti-spasmodics? When I was having really bad D the main thing that saved me was huge doses of Levsin (3x what the doctor prescribed, don't tell).
I'm so sorry you have to go through this! I'm really hoping that your meds will eventually kick in and you'll start feeling better.
