Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I just read something about Minocin therapy. I am going to suggest it to my new rhuemy. Anything sounds better than all these RA meds. How long did it take to work? Will you be able to get off the MTX if the Minocin is working? What I read was you get off the MTX for 6 weeks then start Minocin antibiotic. Heard you would probably get worse before getting better but should start seeing results in several months. Please give me your take on this. I really need to try something else. --- In , Hollye Bowen <sunriselops@...> wrote: > > Sorry you are having pain -- I too have 2 kids (4 & 11) and it is very hard to keep up with the pace when all you want to do is lay down! My Rhuemy started me on MTX at diagnoses -- I have been on it now for 2 years -- I have added Minocin (AP therapy) and it is working -- my sed rate is down for the first time in years -- it takes time with all these meds to start working enough for you to feel the difference -- don't give up! I too was on Oxycodone and Hydrocodone for months -- now have moved down to Darvocet -- I take MTX, Minocin, folic acid, (and for Fibro) Lyrica, Provigil, Requip and Darvocet -- I at least can function with a daily routine (most days) -- I would ask for better pain meds to get through the hump!
