Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi Cooky Thanks for that. Which antibiotic did you change to for three weeks to give Minocin a rest? Is that a website, togeher,noway? Hope you are fine. Ken. C Stonkey <cookee1@...> wrote: Ken hi, I went thru a lot of times like you are going thru now. I usually changed my antibiotic for about 3 weeks then back to Minocin. I've been doing this for 10 years. Minocin doesn't loose its efficacy per say it just needs a rest. If you're talking about adding methotrexate then maybe it may help get you over this spot. If you're talking about stopping Minocin altogether.no way. Hope this helps. cooky _____ From: rheumatic [mailto:rheumatic ] On Behalf Of Ken Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 7:51 PM rheumatic Subject: rheumatic Minocin to Methotrexate Hi all For 3 years I did pretty well on Minocin Antx. however, I have been going through a flair for 4 months. All my joints ache when I kneel or get into the bath. My left knee is swollen. The tendon connecting my right thumb is swollen and I cannot give the 'thumbs -up' sign. Between 2 and 4 am I have universal joint pain as I lie in bed. My left knee really hurts to the extent that I cannot move it. I have chronic fatigue.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I took tetracycline 500mgms 4 times a day MWF. I also took Cipro 500mgms twice a day for a week at the same time. No this is not on a web site. I am a nurse and my ap doc loves that about me :-) and he let me direct my care. He is the best. He went to the info sessions a long time ago but still is not really up on antibiotics for other patients. He will give antibiotics if asked tho. Hope it helps. Have a healthy 2008.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Be careful with the Cipro. My dr put me on it for a couple months and it caused me tendon rupture. Its a little known fact that Cipro can cause tendon rupture and tendonitis because it normally happens with the more powerful antibiotics such as Levaquin. Just a word to the wise to be careful with the stuff. > > I took tetracycline 500mgms 4 times a day MWF. I also took Cipro 500mgms > twice a day for a week at the same time.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 You are right , I totally forgot about that. It did not happen to me but that doesn't mean it won't happen to someone else. cooky _____ From: rheumatic [mailto:rheumatic ] On Behalf Of tickmeister1 Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 12:14 AM rheumatic Subject: rheumatic Re: Thanks Cooky 16/01/08 Be careful with the Cipro.
