Dose/response: Most common reason that NSAIDS do not work is that patients are not taking the correct dose and/or at the right time. Weigh yourself accurately and note the time that you take medicines. Also, remember that dosage recommendations are guidelines. They are not written stone. You have to find a thinking physician, not an automaton.

Holistic approach: Get to the root of the problem. You may benefit from counseling to reduce stress. Improve your diet by stopping sweets and processed foods. See a nutrionist. Start exercising to burn off nervous energy. You can become well. The pills only treat the symptoms.
