Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi I have had RA since 97 - diagnosed in 99. started plaquenil then and didn't help. was scared of mtx so went on minocin - as per the road back foundation - was in complete remission for 3 years and then got very sick with nausea dizziness vertigo. turns out the antibiotic knocked all the good bacteria out of my gut so it made me really sick. so stopped minocin in 03 and by 04 RA was back. find diet helps minimize pain a lot but it is hard to stick to all the time and isn't enough on its own. recently tried low dose naltrexone adn that helped but dizziness and nausea came back. rheumy wants me to try mtx but am scared. have gotten a bad reaction from every anti-inflamm except vioxx so now can't take them anymore, can't take prednisone as it wreaks havoc with my bl sugar. no i'm not diabetic but scared pred would make me one. any advice? i am so tired of being limited and feeling sick. so basically i seem really sensit to meds. so am scared of mtx. anyone here had problems with it? anyone here it's worked for? thanks monique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
