Re: Medrol question, to Dolores

[Guest guest]

Hi Dolores

I have been busy these days didn't have time to read

mails from this group. I don't understand your point.

I am on three diferent antibiotics daily. my ESR is

very high which I read may interfer with penetration

of minocin and other antibiotics. Dr. whitman always

listens to me and I thought his idea to take low dose

of medrol is not bad. it would lower my inflammtion

and allow penetration of minocin.

He is against steroids because of their side

effects.He is monitoring me never pushed me to take

any medication which I don't to take.

Of course I am sad. I have lost my health. My

appearance has changed. My skin is darker.I had a

beautiful thick shiny hair. I look horrible. but I am

not depressed.my point is being depressed is a normal

reaction to illlness. I would not go for any

antidepression medication ever. here in america people

take antidepression pills like choclate.

I have no idea what would be my future. I prefer not

to think about it. My interest in any thing is short

term. I get bored very fast. I have been like that for

whole my life. I do admire your persistance.

have a good weekend
