Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hello Group, Could anyone advise if you have suffered with the following after long term use of minocycline? 1. Staining of teeth? 2. Any pulmonary complications 3. A 2003 study in Switzerland found that continual use of tetracyclines could lead to " pulmonary lupus & hypersensitivity pneumonitis " 4. Continual use " may well include possible contraction of Sweets Syndrome " * If you have suffered from any of the above could you please advise how long you were taking the minocycline before symptoms appeared? * Do these symptoms disappear when you stop the minocycline? * Has your RA improved?, for taking the minocycline? Any help here would be great. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Maybe the generic didn't work on you or you need a different antibiotic. It would be interesting to see what mycoplasma you have and if it is killed by minocin or needs Zithromax or cipro. As for the metho.it is a demard (I think) and it should bring down the swelling or maybe you had a cortisone shot with it. (Not being sarcastic here). But metho will not stop the damage. There are thousands of people who can say that for sure. I hope you do return to AP. Cooky Cooky I'm the reverse. on AP my knee got as big as a balloon for over a year whereas 3 months of MTX brought the swelling right down and my knee is normal. It may have been because Minocin was withdrawn from the market for over a year so they could change the flyer, the generic didn't work but I may return to AP one day.
