I started taking minocycline two months ago (100mg / day) and I've been having a fair amount of joint and muscle pain. I'm assuming this is the "transient lupus syndrome" I've read about. Can anyone tell me if they have experienced this and, if yes, your advice on whether I should (1) Stop taking the drug (2) Just ride it out (3) Switch to doxycycline. I'm not on any other therapy: I've opted for for ...

Hi,

I'm interested in trying Minocycline antibiotic as a therapy and have approached by GP and neurologist who both say they don't recommend it as it's still unproven.

Have other people had this problem and if so, how did you manage to get around it?

Hey all!

Very very excited here. I've been tested for CPn (chlamydophila pneumoniae) and I only have 3 days wait on the results! My NAC has arrived from USA ($6.95 for 60 caps) and I am so excited.

I'm near Chicago and would love to find a doc that is well versed in how to treat MS with antibiotics. I'm not a fan of them but would be willing to give it a try to see if it would help.
I just wonder how MMS might not do the same thing for us as antibiotics would....

Not as comprehensive as it might be. Where are doxycycline, minocycline and roxithromycin in the treatment of Chlamydia pneumonia? If multiple sclerosis is put in train in susceptible people by a C pn infection which gets into the brain, abx which also get into the brain are needed.

Hiya,

I have MS and CFS and have always believe that viruses and bacteria are the root cause of a lot of my problems (not all, CCSVI could be the other unknown factor), but pleas to every medic i've ever seen for anti-viral drugs have been met with blunt refusal.
I focused on viruses because of the associations with EBV etc. that go with CFS. I have been on advanced homeopathy for years for a ...

Totally dependent.

Many thanks,
