Re: antibiotic therapy for arthritis

[Guest guest]

Thanks for bringing this up again. Has anyone had success with detox? What kind

of detox helped the most? I have seen some flare ups due to foods with eggs and

with beer, but not with wine. Wondering if there are any common traits here we

can all leverage to feel better?

I've been on Rifampin (600 mg. daily) and Doxy (200 mg.) daily for the past year

plus. It does help somewhat, but I don't believe I'm cured, and am not certain

how long I'll be able to stay on the meds.

Good question regarding Antibiotic therapy

My thoughts on Antibiotic therapy are these. When I am really sick and they

put me on Augmentin, I start feeling better all over. In fact I wish I

could talk my doctor into it for long term. When you have ReActive

Arthritis, it means you may be reacting to bacteria. So sinus infections

for me can trigger all my arthritis pain symptoms and when treating the

sinus my whole body benefits. The hard part is trying to figure out when

there is another infection going on which might be triggering the arthritis

symptoms. Years ago I had a Rheum doc who put me on Cipro for a daily dose.

For some reason we stopped it. I think when we get to feeling better, it is

hard to stay on it.

There is a web site devoted to this whole discussion at The Road Back

Foundation. It is very pro Antibiotic therapy.

When I travel I make my doc give me an rx for Augmentin or something else.

I get sick and feel worse when I travel. One time I ended up in the ER out

of state and they had no clue what to do with me, so they gave me huge doses

of penicillin and an anti viral as my throat was swollen and had sores and I

hurt all over. It was the only way I survived the trip.

I honestly believe from my own personal experiences that Antibiotic Therapy

will someday hold the clue to treating our illness.

Has anyone else had improvement while on antibiotics?

This is a great discussion. Thanks for bringing it up.

God Bless
