280418 tn?1306325910 t know, but as I itch and type, I am thinking that the half-life of that minocycline could not be this long. Who knows :) I should contact a pharmacist.
Avatar f tn I have been reading that minocycline can cause black thyroid in some people and can take up to a year to reverse after stopping medication. it is given to teenagers for acne and my son was on it for 6 mths twice a day having severe headaches yet the dr ignored it until I googled and realized that it could be effecting his thyroid and causing the headaches since those were listed as symptoms and wondered if anyone else ran into that.....his thyroid test did come back 4.6 with the top normal of 4.
6402846 tn?1391063748 Oh! And it has also been accompanied by a chronic sore throat that came out of nowhere as well. I haven't had any sinus stuff happening, so I know it's not a cold coming on.
Avatar f tn t really understand what the connection was, but I wanted to know if I could trust my HIV test results even though I am on Minocycline, and was for months before, during, and after my HIV test. Also, just to ease my mind, is there ANYTHING else that could effect the validity of an HIV test (aspirin, menstrual cycle, diet, anything)? Thank you so much in advance, I really appreciate your help.
Avatar m tn I know you said this thread is ended but could you please take a look at this and tell me what you think of it and could this data indicate that minocycline could indeed slow down replication making it possible for delayed seroconversion, which would make my test at the 5 month mark inaccurate. http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/201/8/1132.full This is where all of my anxiety has came from.
Avatar m tn The test was a rapid antibody test. Can someone please weigh in and tell me could minocycline possibly be used as a PEP drug for HIV? And if so, should I be worried about my status? Should I test again? I'm worried because I read on the web minocycline is an investigatory drug for HIV that has been shown to reduce replication of the virus. Here's the link. http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/201/8/1132.full Please advise. Any replies are helpful. Thanks.
Avatar m tn So getting on Minocycline is a win win. Minocycline is also combined with Copaxone for greater improvement. Terry Walhs using Minocycline, and so does the Wheldon Procotol. Mino can enter the BBB which MS patients are known to have a damaged BBB, mine was still intact but I did have 5 o-bands of inflammation according to my LP. I am against DMDs because interferon-betas have pretty been proven to not do much.
Avatar m tn 3% not as strong as the retin a mico 0.1% i was on and minocycline 100 mg daily to 40 mg a day oracea for only redness and not pimples would help ?seems like it would make it worse..please explain...
Avatar f tn My doctor prescribed me minocycline and I started taking it for about four days and then found out I was pregnant. I have stopped taking it since, but now I've read some of the birth defects that it causes and I'm really scared. I'm only about 5 weeks and was just wondering if someone could give some more in depth info on the possibilities of something happening to my baby. I was taking 100mg twice a day.
Avatar m tn The dermatologist said it was foliculitis and put me on minocycline (50mg twice a day for three months), however, a month into the course the problem flared up again. My dermatologist then prescribed purbac double strength (trimethporim sulphamethoxazolen twice a day for two months). This worked, however two days after the course ended i started to break out again. I feel like im in a cycle of antibiotics, and my social life has completely disintegrated.
280418 tn?1306325910 I'm so tired:( My first attempt at a treatment and I have an allergic reaction. It is an allergic reaction to minocycline, right? I haven't taken it in seven days, and every evening, I break out in hives somewhere on my body. Tonight, it is my thighs. Itching like crazy and bumps all over, red as fire. What is this? Shouldn't the minocycline be out of my system by now? Getting no answers or even treatment from my doc and very frustrated. This stinks.
Avatar f tn It's great news that you are doing well on your treatment! I don't recall anyone posting here about minocycline, but then my memory's not what it used to be, ha. Also not familiar with the Sunnybrook test -- Sorry not to be more useful! Hope you continue to improve. PS If you're up for some heavy reading, you might try the ilads [dot] org website, the 'about lyme' tab, and read Dr Burrascano's treatment guidelines.
Avatar m tn Hello Peter, It usually helps us if you have a question or want to share a potential risk. Please see a physician for the correct dosage and correct diagnosis.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed minocycline for my acne on the 21st of December and started taking it that day, found out on the 27th of January that I am pregnant with my first baby and I am driving myself crazy with worry! Everything I've read is telling me that minocycline is extremely bad to take while pregnant or becoming pregnant.
Avatar f tn I started minocycline feb 10 and conceived my baby feb 21 but i didnt stop the medicine until march 9 ( only because i didnt know i was preg) im 7 weeks now and i just wanna know has anybody else expericed this with a positive outcome ?
Avatar m tn All, I recently had a standard STD screen and my RDR test showed positive and came back at 1:8 for the quant. test. I have a scalp condition I've had for years that my dermatologist treats with 200mg daily of minocycline. I'm wondering 2 things: 1) Could the same scalp condition cause the RDR test to show a false-positive? Especially a 1:8 reading? 2) If it IS truly positive, is Minocycline 200mg daily (which I've taken for 2+ yrs) sufficient to treat for syphillis?
280418 tn?1306325910 Good points guys. Yes, I am PMSing, so that always makes it worse. It seems that I've been doing this tinnitus and headache thing since I first started Minocycline (this summer, I don't remember!), had a bad allergic reaction with hives and a swollen throat. I noticed tinnitus increase at that time with some pressure like headaches. I started on doxycycline after that allergic reaction with breaks on weekends.. Lately, the increase is back and headaches are worse.
280418 tn?1306325910 going to an LLMD sounds like a good thing. September sounds so far away, and I know how it is waiting and waiting for appointments to roll around. Been there, doing that. I never had Herxes as bad as my original symptoms of illness, so maybe you're lucky that way too -- dunno. I do the dance between doctors too -- it is wrong, having to conceal things like that, but it's not our doing: it's the way medicine is set up.
Avatar m tn At the same time, I also have these unknown itching rashes on the right side of my temple under the hairs—these have been recurring for years, come and go every a few months and were previously diagnosed as Follicitis but Minocycline never cured it, nor did any locations or T-GEL Shampoo. I am not sure all these are all related or completely separate issues.
Avatar f tn I was off minocycline for five days before I started birth control,as starting will the minocycline still be in my system and effect the birth control?
Avatar n tn I could not find a testing location in our rural location, read about Gonorrhea and knew that was my issue, I had discharge, pain while urinating. I took some of her Minocycline 200 MG for two days and three days of 100MG ALL SYMTOMS disappeared. I abstained from sex and took my first appointment at testing center in the city which was last Friday. They gave me a shot of antibiotics and two huge antibiotic pills, and did all the testing.
