finding a physician who will treat lupus with antibiotic therapy.

[Guest guest]

My wife has had lupus for 14 years and due to viox, and a variety of

drugs including prednisone etc. she cracked a bone in her hip. it would

not heal, even though the surgeon stated that she had bones like a 20

year old male. it turned out, the vioxx caused it to crack in ther

first place and never allowed it to heal. she then had an artificial

hip put in, later, from a minor surgery got a severe infection, almost

died, was on antibiotic therapy through an iv all summer long.

at the end of this ordeal we were shocked, because her lupus had gone

into remmission. I have talked one Physician into putting her on 100

mg of minocyclin but he moved away.

we need to find a competent physician in the western United States who

would be willing to treat her with antibiotic therapy. we live in

Wyoming but would be willing to travel anywhere.
