Guest guest Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 HI , Yes, they did that yesterday.

Hee Hee, that was for Cooky in Pittsburg, She knows I have a huge crush on the SS of the Pittsburgh Steelers...Troy Polamalu...

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hope all works out for you O. They were doing tests here in Pittsburgh about the effects of auto immune diseases on the circulatory system. This was way back in about 2000. I was part of it but dropped out because I never had anything to add. Being on Minocin I never had the symptoms others had! Thanks I have the info I needed. cooky : rheumatic Re: help with OB treatment Hi, Cooky. I just saw your post and see that you have the info you need. Just to say I had to stop the Mino and substitute, Doxy, because of the breathing issue, result of taking the abx. But Dr. Sinnott has me on Azithromycin. It is good (but not as good as Mino) and so am on a plateau for now with that. But so far no allergic reaction. He agrees with several of you that posted, that one can develop supersensitivities, which he thinks I did to the Mino. I hope your friend does not have OB. I will be going for tests today and (hopefully) find out more conclusively. Debbie, I am so, so sorry to hear of your issues. I will be thinking of you and wishing you the best. It is amazing how destructive this disease can be. Hang in there. I have been diligent in following the earlier rec's and getting health and other issues attended to. Now that the Zithro is controlling the RA I have been able to deal with the other issues. I am to be admitted to the hospital today re: the heart and lung issues. Lots of tests...so this may be the last post I get in for a while. Hope to follow you guys..Debbie - I also saw in reading up on the heart issues...rheumatic disease sufferers are also 50% more likely to have heart complications. =< o --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 o, i just goggled Zithro to learn more. Is that something to be added to minocyline for treatment of RA? They both are antibiotics, but different families. sounds like Zithro is working for you. was that an alternative when you went off of minocyline? thanks mary o, sally rheumatic Re: help with OB treatment Hi, Cooky.
