Guest guest Posted March 7, 2000 Report Share Posted March 7, 2000 dear babs, I could tell the RA was affecting my thyroid because I had been on the same replacement dosage of synthroid (.15 mg) for twenty years. Then, as my RA got really bad, my thyroid started getting weaker and every three months I had to increase my dosage of synthroid. I got up to .3 mg which is very high for me according to my doctor. Then I started the minocycline and my thryroid started getting stronger again, inch by inch, until I was back down to .15 after a year. It stayed that strength for the last couple of years on Doxycycline, but 5 months ago, I found it was very low again and had to increase my dosage all the way to .2 to get it right. Sorry I didn't answer sooner. I just saw your letter. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!
