Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Hi Mabel, A probiotic replaces the good bacteria in our bodies. The antibiotic kills all bacteria good and bad alike. We need to replace the good bacteria. You should take a probiotic at least 2 hours away from the antibiotic. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 You can obtain these probiotic pills at a health food store. The most common form is the acidophilus (sp?) culture pill, which provides, in pill form, the bacteria your digestive system needs to properly function. It's like eating yogurt, only you get much more of the beneficial bacteria. Heaven knows how those pills have bacteria in them, but they do!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Hi doug.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 I was recently on the Zithromax Z-pack for a respiratory infection and felt 30 years younger. That's when I started researching long term antibiotic therapy on the internet and found your group. I am going to a rheumatologist in a few days and want to discuss long term antibiotic therapy with him. I've been diagnosed with both fibro and RA (in early stage)......I WANT to feel better...... I'm going to copy all the answers I got for my request for information on which drugs are used for this treatment........and take them with me.......thanks to all. He's the only one in my area (and 90 miles away) so I hope he's open to it....... Cherie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Anne, my local library has the book ...... " infection connection " on order for me from another library......I really wish I'd had it before my doctor visit tomorrow..... I did find the other book, " new arthritis breakthrough " and am about half way through.......and will take it with me to the " rheumy " ....... I'm curious as to whether one of the newer meds, such as zithromycin would have less side effects than minocycline.....the book I'm reading indicates possible Herx, avoiding the sun, etc. And since minocycline is in the tetracycline group does it discolor the teeth as I read years ago? Either way, I'm convinced that long term antibiotic therapy will provide great relief for me. I've been diagnosed with both fibromyalgia and RA......and am not thorough convinced of either diagnosis.....my recent RA factor blood test did come back at 20.......and the extensive blood work I had at the same time showed I had a viral infection......of course, the cause unknown. I run a low grade fever most of the time. I'm thinking long term antibiotics will help me in many areas, including frequent respiratory infections. I want to thank everyone in this group for their answers to my questions.......and support......and optimism.........Cherie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Robbin........I'm thinking the Zithromax might work better for me than the minocycline most seem to be taking. Especially since I took it for my last respiratory infection and felt " on top of the world " . I'm going to ask my " rheumy " for it tomorrow........and if he won't provide it I'm sure my local " nurse practioner " will.......she's so understanding and open to anything that might help me. Question.......will taking the Zithromax make me immune to other more potent antibiotics that I might need in the future? thanks for your help......Cherie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Cherie... I was on regular Nsaids and Dmards for eight years before I did Minocin. I had chronic, dibilitating RA complete with major deformaties of the hands and feet. I was tired, cranky, and even with all the meds ...seldom pain free. I was also on low dose prednisone for most of those eight years. My Rheumatologist insisted that Minocin only worked on newly diagnosed RA patients. She refused to let me try Minocin, in spite of the fact that HER chosen meds were not really working all that well. I went to my family practitioner and got my own prescription for the Minocin...later found a doctor who specialized in AP (Antibiotic Protocol). I was in complete remission in six months. I was also able to get off the meds I had been taking during the first three months of treatment. I did this using Minocin time released (name brand, not generic) 100 mg twice daily. I dropped down to 100 mg mon-wed-fri when my bloodwork showed all areas normal. This year after four years of remission I again showed signs of disease activity. My AP doctor has a five month waiting list for appointments, so back to my family practitioner I went. Another script for minocin and I am back on 100 mg twice a day. After three months all pain was gone. At the end of august we will run bloodtests, if all is normal I will again cut back on the minocin. This is the only Dmard that I was ever on that got rid of the disease not just the symptoms. And Minocin is classified as a Dmard by the Harvard Protocol for Rheumatologists. My daughter...newly diagnosed with RA....went into remission on the mon-wed-fri schedule. The disease did not have time to really settle in before the minocin stopped it. She remains on the mon-wed-fri protocol with her gen practitioner who has used this with success before. After a year she has had no joint problems or deformaties. I have personally given many people my doctors name who wished to try AP. Most have done very well even with long standing RA. Only a very few, probably less than 15% did not seem to get any relief. Since I feel that Minocin is one of the less toxic Dmards, and one with less side effects that the others, it seems silly that so many doctors dismiss it without researching it fully. Under the eight years I spent on conventional Dmards I suffered several joint deformaties, during the last four years on Minocin I have had no further deformaties, and several of the larger joints (elbows, knees) seem to have repaired much damage, and my left hand actually looks normal. My right fingers look better but are twisted to the side as all the bone tissue in the knuckles had been destroyed during the eight years I was on standard Dmards. Heres hoping you find a doctor opened minded enough to do a bit of research and think out of the box. What is best for the patient may not always be taught in med school!! Just one womans experience.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Sue, The issue with bat droppings is a fungal disease called histoplasmosis. It is contracted from Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that can be found in the bat droppings. The disease is rare, but certainly a possibility. To find out more Google histoplasmosis or histoplasma capsulatum. Larry Chase _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of ssr3351@...

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Sue, The main risk is Histoplasmosis an infectious disease caused by inhaling spores of a fungus called Histoplasma capsulatum. It is associated with soil containing bat droppings and accumulations of bat droppings. It usually takes an exposure to quite a bit of the material rather than occasional droppings to become infected. Because it is well known and understood it can be diagnosed. CDC, unlike for mold and dampness bacteria, has excellent information at: http://www.cdc.gov/Niosh/97146eng.html This section is probably the most helpful for your situation: How can exposure to H. capsulatum be controlled and histoplasmosis prevented? The best way to prevent exposures to H. capsulatum spores is to avoid situations where material that might be contaminated can become aerosolized and subsequently inhaled. This is especially important for persons with weakened immune systems. Carl Grimes Healthy Habitats LLC ----- > Can anyone direct me to information about bat droppings.
