Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hi : Yes, I am taking both. In my case, the doctors don't know what I've got (2 attacks in 18 months, MRIs look normal, spinal tap showed 1 ogliclonal band (3 is typical for MS, they tell me)). So maybe I've got MS, maybe Lyme (tests were negative), maybe ?? So I've happily found a doctor to work with--on the assumption that this was MS, I started on LDN 12 months ago. Then started minocyline in February; 3 days in, I think I had a Herxheimer reaction; doctor shifted me to tetracycline, then biaxin on the theory that this is really Lyme, not MS. Slowly started feeling better. Shifted back to minocycline 1 month ago (100 mg twice a day), and I believe my improvements have increased. So do I have Lyme? MS? I don't know. I'll probably stay on minocycline another couple of months, then see how well I do just on LDN. From what I can tell, there's no conflict between LDN and minocycline. BTW, my doc prefers the brand name, Minocin, rather than the generic. If you read the files section of the ms20something group here on , you'll find a first person account from someone who has had very good luck with minocycline--he's RRMS, and it's stopped his attacks and his progression as measured on his MRI. Write back if you'd like more details, and good luck! sf627 at hotmail dot com --- In low dose naltrexone , " " <jatrac1@p...> wrote: > Is anyone using LDN with antibiotic therapy, specifically minocycline? > > Thanks, > JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I was taking minocycline with ldn and stopped 4 months into the ldn. The only benefit I seemed to get from the minocin was my gums were great! Make sure that when and if you take minocy. you take alot (1000mg) of vit. C withit or you will ruin your teeth. I had read this somewhere on a website . A friend who did not take the vit c had her teeth turn a brown color and it is irreversible.(her gums were great too!)
