Hey Kathy and and anyone else doing the antibiotic therapy, could youhelp me? I received this letter from a friend, who I will keep anonymous,and she clearly could use some direction or advice or just hear of yourexperiences on the antibiotic therapy. Since I've never done it, I wouldn'tknow what to tell her, and she does want to hear from others. She is a partof our group, but has been a lurker, and I will respect that, but if youhave any advice to share with her about the pain issues and antibiotics, Iknow she is anxious to hear from you.Thank you ladies!Patty----- Original Message -----<fdp@...>Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 5:22 PMSubject: FW: mycoplasma issues>>> Hi Patty, hope your doing well.
