Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I have recently (approx been on antibiotic therapy Minocycline 100mg-1mo, MWF then increased to 200mg-2mos MWF ) Yesterday I visited my physician and my labs were good all except my R A factor spiked from 119 to 626. Is this something to get alarmed about? I have had R A for appox, 8 yrs and was on 10mg Pred, ,12.5wkly Methotrexate and 400mg Celebrex, and 3950 Tylenol. Should I wait till next labs to panic or go back to my original regiment ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 What did your doctor say you should do? My opinion is that the minocycline needs some help if your RA factor spiked to 626. Joint damage could be occurring.
