Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I have been on antibiotics for about a year, I am getting my life back it is wonderful. I would recommend it highly. I take one a day and very little pain meds. I take ecotrin for pain when I do need it. No harsh meds at all. Re: rheumatic hair question I gave myself injections because that is not supposed to damage the liver. Nevertheless it didn't work, it's a terrible drug, I quit taking it even before I learned about AP. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hello everyone My name is Kamran and I am writing from Sweden. I am supposed to have RA. I have had some kind of attacks a couple of time. I am waiting for further tests. My question so far is if anyone has gone through (or is going) low dose antibiotica treatment and if it has been succesful. I ask this because here in Sweden they don't believe in this kind of treatment. Any one? And then to you who has written about methotrexate and AP. What is AP. Thanks for your attention and answers in advance. Kamran Re: rheumatic hair question I gave myself injections because that is not supposed to damage the liver.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Kamran, you will find many stories on www.rheumatic.org under Medical Histories of people who have used or are using this low dose antibiotic therapy successfully. I am one of them. You might want to print off the scientific studies validating this therapy and take them to your doctor, along with the FAQ. Over the years, we've had people from Sweden who have used the therapy. Ethel Re: rheumatic hair question Hello everyone My name is Kamran and I am writing from Sweden. I am supposed to have RA.
