Avatar n tn She sometimes feels fine with little pain and sometimes unbearable joint pain and can barely walk. The hives come and go also. We went to ER and doctors and ran a lot of blood tests and took chest xray and knee xray and everything appears to be "normal". She has been dealing with this for about a week and they told her to take motrin and claritin. I don't know what to do. Making an appt. to see rheumatologist as soon as possible. If anyone has any answers please help!
Avatar n tn Three days later culture was ALL NEGATIVE. Kept taking Minocycline during the wait and by this time my symptoms were mostly gone... EXCEPT a mild discomfort in the perineum... (prostate) By this time, because I doubled-down, I ran out of medicine (after 9 days), so I went back in for more, after reading all the horror stories about chlamydia getting into your prostate and then you're in deep ****. Doc gave me 4-5 more days of Minocycline @ 100mg/day.
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 n tn I started to get a rash on my underarms and then my stomach. I was given minocycline and that has worked for me. It does come back after some time, but it comes back less and less. I'm hoping that eventually it won't return. It is a horrible thing to have, and as a woman it makes you very uncomfortable to have anyone see it. I haven't noticed that it returns by anything different in my diet. I guess everyone has slightly different flare ups.
Avatar n tn Has anyone ever successfully used antibiotics (minocycline, etc.) for Psoriatic Arthritis? Please share.
Avatar f tn So for about the last 5 days I've had a dull annoying pain on my left side, kidney area. It feels sort of like a pressure almost gas bubble like, and sort of pulled muscle. Motrin seems to help but I hate taking it constantly. I also haven't been feeling 100% in general, more tired then usual and slight stomach issues, just all around not great. I'm fairly prone to kidney stones so I know what that feels like and I'm pretty sure that's not it.
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.
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.

5248641 tn?1367587247 I do have some help. I woke up last night with a weird stabbing pain in my back and am nauseous this morning. But got to tough it out. Time for work...
Avatar m tn the author of that text appears to be comparing *only* doxcycline and minocycline to each other, and *not* comparing them to other antibiotics. This is important because comparing only two drugs that have similar reactions with Lyme bacteria may leave out other treatment possibilities that could be significantly better than either doxy and minocycline.
Avatar f tn Well, that's really suggestive. First things first, an UTI have those kind of symptoms one just can't ignore as fever, chills, even vomit and pain that is more common in the lower back (condition called as "glomerulonephritis"). The pre mestrual pain is real and it usually feels in the low stomach area, as you can see all is a lot of theory but the recommendation is the same.
Avatar f tn ever since I started Minocycline (about 2 weeks ago) I've also been feeling like I can't concentrate, and also like I'm not as smart or as sharp as I was before. could this also be related to the medication? thanks for getting back so quickly. I will talk to my physician and see what he has to say. hopefully I can find an alternative or go off the medication and get my life back.
Avatar f tn Thank you so much for posting y'all. I just got on Minocycline about a week ago and I feel like I've gone crazy and when I went to my doctor he acted like I needed to go to the loony bin or something. Been having the same exact symptoms...depression/suicidal thoughts, anxiety, panic, etc. I've just been laying around the house for 5 days now and that's all I wanna do because I'm scared to go anywhere and enjoy life.
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 I have been clean 100% since after being cured of chlamydia via minocycline and have had no problems with my stomach, but as soon as I let her give me unprotected oral, I started feeling the same stomach issued I did last year after she gave me unprotected oral. This is how I know that she is without a doubt infected, but she just cries or gets angry, defensive when I try to explain that she is infected even if her urine test came up negative.
