Re: The Minocin Days-How I suffer on M,W,F

[Guest guest]

uzanne,

are you drinking the Lemon/Olive drink? if not, here is the recipe

Another useful suggestion from Dr. Nicholson - blend one whole

lemon, then add 1 cup fruit juice or water and 1 tablespoon of olive

oil. Strain and drink liquid.

This may help some with the pain and feeling miserable.

Dear group,

I am looking for encouragement and advice. I started taking minocin, brand

name, 2 1/2 weeks ago and on the days I take it I feel like I just want to jump

out of my body. I become so inflamed, irritated, nervous, and angry. I think I

become angry because of the inflammation.

I am taking a product called Inflama-way that normally helps with inflammation.

But it does little on the days I take the minocin.

I just don't remember herxing like this before. But I don't think I was taking

the brand name Minocin back then, not sure.

What can I do to minimize this herx? It is literally driving me crazy and I am

in so much pain. I am following a pretty strict diet right now to minimize the

herx. On the days I take the minocin, I can only get veggie juice down, maybe

a little protein. I don't really feel like eating.

My hubby and I took a walk last night, we live in IN. And I was so overheated

when we came home. Or should I say my rash was flaring. And it was pretty

chilly outside. We were walking at a very leisurely pace too. Normally, walks

make me feel better.

Your encouragement and advice too. I don't know if I can handle these flares.

Thanks

Hi Suzanne,

How much are you taking on MWF? Doc Sinnott started me out everyday 2x day. I

about died first week, so he said " it's working and you don't need to die " so do

MWF 2xday. For several weeks, I did MWF 1time day. Just recently went to 2 x

day MWF. If you're doing 2 x day, perhaps cut back to once. Doc S did say for

this to be effective, I would need to stay at 2 xday MWF. Are you able to rest

those days? This is not fun filling this bad....but these diseases are not fun!

My very best to you, Sally

Hi Suzanne,

I just wanted to mention that the hydrogen peroxide and epsom salt bath that

is described in the rheumatic.org FAQs was my lifesaver and played a huge

part in getting me through the severe, incapacitating herxes. I ran

bathwater as hot as I could stand, soaked in 2 cups of epsom salt, and then

drenched my body in a bottle of peroxide, let it sit on my skin for 5

minutes, and rinsed it off. It helped the pain and inflammation SO much!

Sometimes I needed more than one bath per day.

Hope this helps,

good luck!

Suzanne,

I also would consider lowering the dosage to start.

If you consider doing the peroxide baths, be sure not to take vitamins

8hrs before the bath

As someone mentioned, there is good information about herx on the FAQ on

rheumatic.org

I'll post something I have in my files in a separate e-mail

Take care,

Ute

Hi Suzanne,  Right after I started Minocin, I heard about The Marshall

Protocol.  They added, Benicar  which is supposed to diminish the herxheimer

which I believe is what is happening to you.  But my diagnosis is Scleroderma

and we seem to herx less than R/A.  Dolores
