Quick Intro.
I've had many symptoms of MS for a few years and my diagnosis has gone backwards and forwards.My family and I noticed a few years ago that I seemed to be better after taking certain antibiotics so i started researching antibiotics on the CNS in 2001.
Over the past couple of years my stiffness and spasms have increased,I now walk with crutches and use a wheelchair for longer distances.
My Neurologist discharged me last month and advised my GP to try 3 to 6 months antibiotics to see if it gave me prolonged benefit.
I contacted David Wheldon with my history etc and he advised some antibiotics.
Friday morning the day I was to start doxycycline I woke up hardly able to move or walk and I knew an infection was brewing.I developed a severe sore throat and think I have a chest infection.
I started the doxycycline anyway.As with any infection I always get increased stiffness and pain.I can't stand the pain in my hips and upper back.
I've been in bed most of the weekend as I've felt so poorly.Do I just carry on with the doxycycline or do I see GP for a different antibiotic.??
I can't believe how quickly the infection hit me and the day I was starting doxcycline.
Thanks
