Re: cea & other diseases/conditions

[Guest guest]

Oooh, yeah--that's one really, really bad thing about

long-term mino. You can get a drug-induced lupus-like

syndrome after using it for a year or more. A year is

the average--it could happen at any time, or it might

not happen at all. As more and more people are using

the drug longer, though, researchers are seeing more

of it (or at least, reporting it more). They say that

tetra- and doxycycline don't produce this type of

effect as frequently.

I'm sorry you had to go thru that, . I hope

you were able to recover w/no residual problems...
