polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR)

[Guest guest]

I have a friend recently diagnosed with PMR and of course her rheumy has her on

prednisone. Can this autoimmune disease be treated by AP - Minocin? Has anyone

used AP for PMR?

It all depends on what organisms are attacking the body and causing the diseas

or diseases.  That is why it is so important to get the blood tested thoroughly

for all (L) forms of bacteria, viruses, Strep, Lyme and fungus, etc.  Checking

for the antibodies is not enough. there is a special lab, I think in Florida

that does this type of testing.  Once you isolate the offending organism, then

find a good infectious disease doc who can order the best antibiotic to use. 

Any antibiotic especially those of the tetracycline family will weaken the (L)

forms type of bacteria which have no cell walls, when taken at a low dose over a

long period of time.  Of course, you may also be infected with other forms of

bacteria, viruses or fungus as well.  So, it is best to know the enemy well

before starting your attack back.  Knowing all this will help you & your doc

put you on the correct path to wellness. Once you are on the antibiotics, you

will be on A/P. 

No matter which antibiotic or set of antibiotics you have to use.  My best to

you in your search.
