Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hello, Thought I'd check in with an update on how I'm doing on the antibiotic minocycline. It's been a little over 3 months. I had been holding steady until Christmas, then had a couple of rough days. I think stress brought it on (I managed to keep to my gluten free, dairy free, sugar free diet over the holiday), because in the days following I have been feeling fine. For the past several days I have gone without my evening dose of ibuprofin and been o.k. (a little achy, but no real pain as a result). I am very pleased with minocycline. It does not make me feel weak like the other DMARDs did. I am looking forward to the 6 month point, which is when the most improvement has been clinically observed, according to my rheumtologist. There are currently activities I would not attempt, such as step aerobics or vigorous gardening (shoveling, dividing perennials, etc.), that I hope I can return to someday. I'll keep you posted! Happy New Year! Sierra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
