Restarting Minocin

Hi guys

I'd appreciate hearing of other people's experiences and some advice

about going back on Mino after being off it for a while.

After four months off the Mino, which came about because my doctor

suggested I try to get the candida under control, I've developed

inflammation again and want to restart the antibiotics. I think a few

people here have gone off it and then started again. I don't know

whether to do the MWF 100mg as I did when I first started or to do

100mg daily which I've never really done. The MWF in the beginning

took about 3 months to start working. I wonder whether doing it more

intensively would take less time. Of course, there is also the

candida overwhelm to take into account. I'm having Diflucan and

Nilstat for that and am on the candida diet. I have to continue with

inhaled steroids for serious asthma.

I can't use NSAIDS or prednisone because of digestive issues. Am

relying on acetaminophen (paracetamol in Australia) for some pain

relief. I remember that inflammation inhibits the effect of the

minocycline. My doctor isn't willing to give IV antibiotics at this

stage.

Thanks

Hi! I had been doing really well on Minocin, but had to go off of it for three

weeks, to take doxycycline(it doesn't help my Reactive Arthritis anymore) for a

tick bite. After two weeks off, I felt so sick. Once I went back on the Minocin,

it took two weeks until I started feeling a little better, but it took 6 weeks

until it kicked in completely.

Good Luck.

Goodmorning all...Thank you Mike for welcoming and I to the group!

I have been online for over 5 months trying to find out as much information as

possible.  I truly wish that I had " stumbled " on to the group much sooner.  I

have learned quite a bit from ya'll over the last week or so.

commented last night that he is feeling better...he has been out of the

mold infested home for about a week or so.  He also wondered if the supplements,

and diet have made an improvement. (He has been taking supplements now for about

2 months.)  He actually has started moving better.  He has better coloring.  I

am the researcher...I am the one who encourages to try alternative routes. 

hates to take pills...haha....but, he is great at taking all supplements

three times a day!  He has placed himself in my hands.  I have tried to become

informed....at times, it seems a bit overwhelming...however, I have learned

quite a bit in many areas, but reading ya'lls life experiences certainly helps

us carry on in the direction of alternative medicine.

So once again, thank you so much for sharing your advice...the good moments, as

well as the difficult heartbreaking moments.  Today we meet with the redediation

company.  We will go over the protocal for the removal of the mold, and review

the types of molds, and the density of each room. 

It is very interesting...with just a little research on chronic mold exposure

and the effects on people, the symptoms are extremely similar.  Even as far as

the immune system, joint pain, " brain fog " , short term memory loss, neurological

problems.  The treatment with antibiotics are used to help the patient. 

However, long term mold exposure can create a systematic problem.  The protocal

is also the long term use of antibiotics...but, are antifungal, and can cause

liver damage if not handled carefully.

When we started this path, we hoped for an " ah ha " diagnosis...now, I realize

that perhaps many factors have played into the decline of health of my husband. 

Hopefully, we will uncover each aspect that has played a part in his health and

try to alleviate the negative...and embrace the positive!

Have a great day ya'll!

Best wishes, Cathie

Hi Cathie!  So happy you hubbie is feeling better. You are definitely on the

right track and doing a fine job as an investigator. You will also be an asset

to this site and the roadback.org site as fungus is not often discussed.  Yes,

we seem toconcentrate on the bacterial mostly and a little on the viral, but not

too much on the antifungal. Although many of the patients are on difulcan

automatically.  I assume that is for fungus.  I, for one have some gut problems

I take pro biotics for.  It has not completelyerased the intermittent diarrhea

problem, but it does help in that it is not a continous thing.  I have not lost

weight because of it and I do not think that I am anemic at this time. Need to

check that again soon.  I was anemic back a few years ago.  Extra doses of iron

fixed that.  Protein powdered drinks helped me to put some weight back on. I had

a sudden 40lb weight loss when I was first diagnosed. Stay in touch and let us

know how he

is coming along.  We love to hear stories with good endings.  How is it that

the fungus affected him and not you?  Was it because he was sleeping in the room

where the fungus was the heaviest and you weren't?  My doctor is checking my C

Diff now for the diarrhea. Have an appt. on the 15th of Oct.  Will see what the

outcome is.  Take care and keep in touch!  Thank you for your input!  Dolores &

Mike

Hi lind.  Sorry you are having a problem right now.  I remember when you

were doing fine.  It seems like we address the subject of bacteria more than we

do the fungal problems.  I, for one would like to know more about combatting the

fungal infections.  Some people on this site are on antifungal medications as

well.  I have a problem with intermittent diarrhea.  Doc is doing a C Diff

test.  Will see him on the 15th of Oct. for the results.  He is an infectious

disease doc, so I'm hoping you get your answer from someone who knows more about

the candida infection.  I will be watching the posts.  Hope this starts a thread

to approach that subject in more depth.  Take care and hoping for the best for

you.  Dolores & Mike

Dolores, for that intermittent diarrhea problem, you might want to try

Metagenics Dairy free Ultra Bifidus to help control it. It's important to

increase your probiotic dosage considerably whenever you are dealing with

these gut problems.

A good anti-fungal is olive leaf extract - three capsules, three times

daily. Adding l. glutamine and slippery elm repairs the gut. I have found

the olive leaf extract by Seagate Products to be very effective. Or, you

might try the MMS discussed previously in the group. My husband had a leaky

bowel problem for about 12 years causing him to have to wear protection. It

was due to a fungal infection from taking antibiotics without taking

probiotics. With the MMS, he started at 1 drop twice a day. On day 4 (4

drops) his problem resolved. He did continue increasing the drops for about

10 days to make sure the problem was completely resolved. That was nearly 2

years ago. I can send you info on the MMS if you are not aware of it

already and would like to try it. It's cheap. .

Hi Ethel. Would it be possible for you to send me info on the MMS protocol also?
