Guest guest Posted November 25, 2000 Report Share Posted November 25, 2000 Hello everyone: I have started the minocin this week and wondering if this is just coincidence...after two days on the antibiotics I am exhausted. I've read where most Scleroderma patients don't herx, wondering if this is a symptom or something. No pain, just intense exhaustion. If this is from the antibiotics how long is this going to last?

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2000 Report Share Posted November 25, 2000 Dear Roni, We are all very different. I am also scleraderma and I KNOW we are not as inclined to herx; however, that said, I ALWAYS herx. I sleep contantly - cannot get enough - and them about one and one-half weeks after the five days of iv's if begin my herx. at RTC would herx DURING her iv's and then feel GREAT immediatley afterwards. Hope this helps and good luck - I will be thinking of you. If you have any questions or get any fears, just yell.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2000 Report Share Posted November 26, 2000 Hi Roni, It's almost certainly a herx Scleroderma patients experience the herx less often than RA patients, but, as people in this group will tell you, it sure happens Good sign. It can last days or weeks. If it's too much for you to cope with, just reduce your antibiotic dose slightly. It will come in waves related to taking the antibiotic. Chris.
