Guest guest Posted September 13, 2000 Report Share Posted September 13, 2000 Hi , Keep trying, girl friend. You'll conquer those cigarettes yet! Go pour water on the ones you have left so they won't be staring at you. I know how frustrating it is to not have a definite diagnosis. That period for me went on seemingly forever. You might try giving your doctor a copy of the antibiotic protocol and tell him/her that you are interested. Some doctors will agree to a six month trial of the Minocin if they are even a little bit inclined to think that their patient has some sort of connective tissue/rheumatic/auto-immune disease. In that time a good majority of people will notice something happening. I can't remember exactly when, but the brain fog eventually lifted at some point after I started the Minocin. Before that time, I didn't even have the concentration power to read a novel for enjoyment. Now, I read whenever I can but I am usually too busy :-) you're in my thoughts and prayers, Connie Re: tummy troubles > > Hi Connie---- I just went through the info you sent- mucho thanks!
