Minocycline quick adverse reaction?? Or Vit B deficiency?

[Guest guest]

I know this isn't the topic du-jour- but commenst welcome.

My RA friend has taken a ton of Mino in the past, with good results

(except for a mucosal advers reaction of inflammed and sloughing

mucosal skin of the mucus menbranes)- solved by taking Vit B complex

with the mino)

and it wasn't really that bad unless she mixed HCQ with the Mino.

Last week she started just 200 mg Mino per day and by the second

day had mucosal bembranes all inflammed - and swollen lips -

That to me is an allergic reaction - she agreed becuase of the

swollen lips - so stopped-

Question:

ANyone seen this reaction? The skin of ther gums will actually

slough off (like when burned)- and this time she has blood in her

urine- so were talkin mucosal menbranes not just in her mouth...

What's happening? I have read about Mino depleting Vit B (and you

have to take C with it) - so is this SEVERE vit B deficiency - or

just a drug adverse reaction????????????????

PS- yes- I know- this is a question someone would ask and I'd

usually pipe in with an answer... I have my thoughts on it.
