I have been on Minocin MWF 200mgms since October 1997 and so far no

problems. I would do AP over all that crap they give you in rheumatologists

offices anyday.

Back in June 06, after being on antibiotic protocol

(doxycycline/erythromycin) for 3 or 4 months, I began to experience

stomach bloating and a horrible ache in the upper right quad section

of my stomach along with nausea. It radiated toward my back/upper

shoulder. It was in fact very similar to when I had a gallbladder

attack 5 years prior, but of course it couldn't be as my gallbladder

is gone now. My AP doc took me off of the antibiotics and

supplements/vitamins I was on. He put me on pancreatic enzymes. I

saw him 2 weeks later as the pain had not let up and I was losing

weight. At that point he took me off the pancreatic enzymes and

referred me back to my primary doc for testing and told me he would

I think cookie took some offense to my post, and I do

not mean to dis this protocol. I know I would never

take some of the meds my rheum. wanted me to take for

pa, but I think cookie is not understanding the extent

of my problems right now, and I was just trying to see

if anyone has reacted the way my body is.

I realize this protocol has been a lifesaver for

many!!

San,I did not and would not take offense about anything. I just wanted to

help. I have been on this board for a long time and do not want anyone to be

unhappy and not come back. Best of health to you and I am so sorry you are

feeling so bad.
