Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Hi , As for warmth, I do know that sometimes only a hot shower or bath makes me feel better - I've considered getting a "hot tub" for this very reason. I'm not sure the air temp makes that much difference - mainly with me it's warm water. What to expect on the AP? Very like a roller coaster ride, for me anyway. I have been on Doxy for the first 9 months- then the rheum doc fine tuned so that I am on Minocin 100mg and Doxy 100 mg - one each every other day. Along with 1000 mg once a week of amoxicillan. (for elevated ASO titer) I have experienced two "remissions" lasting six/seven weeks. Then BOOM I am hit with major pain and swelling. Now it's been over four months pretty much inflamed and swollen, etc. I take this as my cue to fine tune my diet, my activities, (fitness) and my mental attitude.

Does anyone know about this to be true? We live in the Pacific Northwest and the cold seems to really do me in. Also I have been on AP using Doxy for two weeks now . Can anyone tell me the different side effects and/or the reactions I can expect.

An easy way to find out is to take a trip to the snow and another to a hot climate, like AZ, and see how you fare yourself. No matter how expensive the trip, it is bound to be SIGNIFICANTLY less expensive than moving... especially if it turns out to be the " wrong move.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I love warm climate myself, don't like the cold, grey, raining days...somehow I feel I can handle anything in a sunny day. So happy I can smell spring in the area these days. Texas is a great state to live. Spy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
