Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Hi I've been on Minocin just over 6 months now and I haven't really noticed any kind of difference. He told me that it's been used mainly for RA and there isn't much evidence that it helps RP, but it could, hard to say. However, in my case the leg pain remained more or less the same, perhaps just slightly less pain, but really improves when I take Vioxx. He suggested I take Krilex which is a new kind of fish oil/omega3/antiflammatory/all purpose supplement, it works similar to Vioxx - they also have a website www.krilex.com. I'm going to read up on it first before taking anything. Perhaps I'll give Minocin another try should the RP flare up again, we'll see. I will also seriously consider taking the Kava Kava, the anxiety attacks are getting pretty bad. I know it's due to stress, but I have trouble getting that under control lately. The leg pain is definitely from getting off the pred. It weakened my muscles and joints, I get a burning and painful sensation especially when I get up from sitting for a long time. Going back to work is the PITS... but I have no choice, I have car payments among other things....and so it goes. I miss you too and I hope you feel better real soon and that the Biaxin works for you , please keep me posted, OK? love you lots Carmela ************************** > So good to hear from you.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2001 Report Share Posted June 16, 2001 Carmela, I just read the site on Krilex. It is very interesting. Sounds like it might be worth a try. The only thing I found was that it contained glucosamine. Doesn't that build up the cartiledge? I'm not sure... I know my drs told me not to take condrotin/glucosamine. Wonder if it is the same. Let me know what you find out. I wouldn't want to build up my immune system too much. LOL Wish you were feeling better. I can sympathize with those leg pains. I've been doing the Epsom salt and Hydo Peroxide baths and they do help alot. Please take care and have a great weekend. Enjoy it. It is soo hot here, I think I'll just go sit in the pool or just sit by an air conditioning vent. LOL Wanted to go buy som flowers today, but too hot to plant them. Maybe next week. Lots of hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
