Antibiotic questions for & Connie

April 20, 2002

I really have been intrigued by this mycoplasma infection concepts &

treatment. Thank you both, for sharing your experiences with the group!

I'd like to ask you, if you recall taking a blood test first, to help

Dr. Franco diagnose what type of mycoplasma infection that you have?

And, were you on any kind of prednisone or other DMARDS prior to taking

the blood test? The reason I ask , is that I'm also planning to take

the diagnostic blood test, and the instructions said that I shouldn't be

taking any immune modulators or immune depressing steroids 4 weeks prior

to the testing!

Thanks for any information! aloha, karen

Connie, thanks for the wonderful update. I'm so glad that you are still

doing so well. I'm still on the Biaxin and doing well too. I have been

able

to decrease the Plaquenil to 200mg a day from 400mg. The pred is slowly

coming down.

I just got back from Stanford today and had a great report from my

rheumy.

Except that the RP is now in my knees. LOL They want to add an

antiinflamatory but will wait til after the heart stuff to decrease the

bleeding.

Overall, I'm doing well and really can't complain.

so good to hear from you and thank you for all the sites.

hugs
