Guest guest Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hi Phyllis! I've read that Doxycycline is less effective than Minocycline in the treatment of RA. Does your Rheumy still want you to take all of your other RA meds while you are on this? I would think you would have to stop the other. Goodness! That is a scary thought, but I hope it helps to resolve the rash issues. I didn't realize you were diabetic. Sounds like you have more tests coming your way. Hope everything works out ok and you are feeling better soon.....Doreen I had my check up with my rheumy this week. I don't know if you remember but I had posted about a weird rash I got right before I became sick. Rheumy has now put me on Doxyclycline hyclate twice a day for a month to see if that helps. Has anyone else used that for arthritis? Also, he called last night, my fasting glucose level was 146 and wants me to see my gp so I have an appt. for that next week. I have been taking Junivia but apparently, it isn't working enough. Phyllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
