[Guest guest]

Hi

 

After I stopped prednisone , my ESR went up reached the same level before taking

prednison. Then I started taking low dose of Naltrexone which a immune system

booster my ESR came down somewhat. I also switched from 100 mg minocin towice a

day to 100 mg minocin and 100 mg doxy. I feel better , have lesspain and

stiffness and have more energy.
