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.
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 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 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 n tn Mirena uses the pregnancy hormone progesterone. I had the Mirena for 14 months and would have certain weeks on occasion when I'd get pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness, fatigue, increased/decreased appetite, sore breasts, and cramps. It's very unusual to get pregnant with the Mirena--not impossible, but not at all common.
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?
Avatar f tn I am not convinced that your symptoms are caused by Mirena. Panic and anxiety have deep rooted triggers. There may be certain psychological issues which you probably have. You may still go ahead and get the implant removed. But first, get a urine pregnancy test done, since you have missed your periods.
Avatar f tn I am seventeen and just had the mirena put in on March 4th. I have been spotting non-stop (which is brown and thick). But I, finally, just had sex with my boyfriend on Friday and afterwards I started bleeding, not like the brown thick stuff, but like i was on my period. I don't know if this is normal, and all day today, I have been having terrible cramps. My abdomen is sore and crampy and I'm very concerned about this.
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.
5248641 tn?1367587247 ( arms too a bit.. It seems to affect my muscles more then joints is that normal?? Sorry so many questions just confused.. I also have alot of pressure in my head that comes and goes.
Avatar f tn Your last question is a very valid one. I am now wondering if my eggs were still dropping because I am now 7 weeks without the mirena and I am not ovulating nor have I had a period. They say the mirena doesn't affect ovulation, but if it doesn't then how come you don't get a period. There is so much conflicting information on this thing its making me angry. I wish I had looked into it more before letting my dr talk me into it.
Avatar m tn The thing is I am having this pregnancy scare for a month and some weeks now. Of course I dont have a cycle because of the mirena. Within the past month I have some weight gain around the mid section area, soreness tenderness of the breasts, shortness of breath, now nauesa, flutter feelings in my abdomen, pressure of the abdomen especially underneath. My boyfriend thinks I am because I have been very moody and dealing with a lot of fatigue.
Avatar f tn Can the mirena be the cause of my constipation and bloating? I have read that progesterone slows the perilstatis of the intestine causing constipation?
Avatar m tn I became very sick and almost died for having the Mirena, Lupron and Northindrone. Do not get the Mirena inserted while having Lupron shots.
Avatar f tn Depends on your body and how it reacts to the hormones.I have a Paragard and I absolutely love it....the reason for me not choosing the Mirena is because I wasn't sure how the hormones would react with my body and current situation. Take a chance and see if u want to,if it doesn't work out then switch back! Only u kno your reasons for wanting to switch....but if it isn't really serious I'd tell u to stick to your Paragard!
Avatar m tn I have acne all over the back of my head and on my back it hurts to touch in some spots and to dry my hair.
