I was on Celebrex for three years. As I have weaned off it, three weeks now, the joint and muscle pain is horrid.

My question is: Since I was on Celebrex could that have caused any of the tests the Dr did for inflammatory illnesses of any kind to have a skewed result, such as RA, Lupus, etc?

Tested positive for Lyme/western blot in May 2010...received standard treatment of doxy for 3wks. Whoop dee doo...symptoms came back in full force following tkr in January 2012.

Maybe -- maybe not. Don't think there is a definitive answer.

I don't believe it would have skewed results. For RA and Lupus they look for markers that Celebrex does not impact.

There are many report that once having adequate Lyme treatment their positive ANAs normalize.
