Brief Answer:
Can u send me your prescription.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir ,

I have gone through your problem , in my opinion your doses are very low so will not be able to control disease so you are getting flares . Please send all blood tests and your prescription . For swelling you can take etoricoxib 90 mg once daily for 5-7 days depending on response after having food . If it will not respond then we will think of increasing steroid .

Take care.
