Guest guest Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Dear Anamika, If I were you, I would not take any more methotrexate. I would follow your gut feeling to just stay on Minocin. The body needs to heal and my opinion is that meth interferes with that. Minocin weakens the bacteria that is causing the problem by starving it of proteins and not allowing them to replicate and the immune system does the clean up. The body is then free to heal itself as it was always designed to do. Try to boost your immun system to the max with diet, rest, proper exercise. A nutritionist at this point would benefit you. Remove all the toxic stuff that prevents healing. And let the immune system do it's work. I don't know what disease you have or how far your deformities have become. Sometimes, deformities have been there too long to be reversed, but at least you could stop them from developing further. The fact that they did deteriae shows that the meth was not doing it for you. Taking meth is like putting a bandaid on cancer. It may help the symptoms, but does nothing but mask the disease.  I don't know much about the other medication you are on. Maybe someone else on the board can tell you more about that one. No wonder you are confused. These are diseases that confuse even the most intelligent docs and they do not always agree with each other and are often wrong in their approaches. Stick with Dr. Browns AP. It works formost rheumatic diseases and is the least damaging. No one ever died from Minocin. They have been giving it to teens for acne for over 40 yrs. But then again, that depends on what disease you have. Our best to you, Dolores   From: anamikabkk <anamikabkk@...> Subject: rheumatic confused !!!! rheumatic Date: Tuesday, July 6, 2010, 4:22 AM  hi all after around 5 yrs of taking metho,my doctor made me give it up and replaced it wid HCQS-400mg everyday.its been a year since and I have'nt had many difficulties without metho.i reduced the HCQS to 200mg overtime alongwith minocycline 100mg MWF.overall have been happy wid the results but now the same doctor wants me to start metho again or go on steroids as my deformities have'nt stopped forming.
