I have been on Minocycline for acne for well over a year. Usually I take 50mg twice a day, although for the last month have been on 75mg twice a day. If by some freak chance I had rectally contracted Gonorrhea or Chlamydia, would this antibiotic take care of it?
Minocycline is an intracellular abx and is used in combination with another type of abx when given for Lyme. It can help with Bartonella, too, as Bart is also an intracellular infection.
I considered taking it, but my PA warned me that it often causes dizzyness, especially in women, so I haven't tried it yet. Wouldn't be surprised if I do at some point. I seem to have tried most everything at one point or another.
In the am I went to First Care, he gave me Minocycline. Two days later I was worse, right eye was swollen completely shut and left eye was starting to close. Went back to doc he gave me a shot and oral Amoxic/Clav for 10 days. Still had red patch and swollen, on May 5 doc gave me another 5 days Amoxic/Clav. Finished last night. NO change, still have red patch and small hard knot by eye brow down to in side of the bridge of nose to corner of eye.
There is a serious split in the medical community about how serious Lyme is or is not, and having had Lyme myself (and also another family member had it), I can tell you for certain that Lyme is a real infection -- and one that can be treated and eradicated -- but first an accurate diagnosis needs to be done.
The testing came back yesterday and I was positive for urine Gonorrhea, negative for oral, rectal, and HIV. Shypillis was still pending.
Last Saturday 24 hours after I was injected with antibiotics and taken large pills I had protected vaginal sex, and she performed brief oral sex on me with no ejaculation with same partner who is still on Minocycline. This was stupid but I thought I was clear with Minocycline.
I am not aware of any information that suggests that minocycline, or for that matter, any other antibiotic acts to either increase risk for HIV acquisition or would modify the performance of tests for HIV. Current tests for HIV look for antibodies. Antibody production in response to infection is not changed by antibiotics, menses or any of the other factors. The results of HIV antibody tests are to be believe.
Is a tetrocycline antibiotic such as minocycline adequate for treating a staph infection or would some other antibiotic be needed.
Also just to be clear are you suggesting the crease may be there now as a result of the staph infection or just the blepharitis.
Has anyone ever successfully used antibiotics (minocycline, etc.) for Psoriatic Arthritis? Please share.
Is there a better oral antibiotic (than minocycline) for trteating staphaureas? Should I accept this discoloration?
It is now January 18th and I am now seeing symptoms of sore throat, oral thrush, diarrhea, on and off fever and swollen neck lymph nodes. I am scheduled for another test on the 21st of January. How likely is it that I now have HIV, and I somehow took longer than the three months for my antibodies to appear? Please answer quickly. I am very scared.
So they are unrelated. Secondly minocycline is an antibiotic used for bacterial infection and not viral ones. Hence if you had improvement after minocycyline then possibility is that it is bacterial. To confirm the diagnosis, it is better to get a culture sensitivity of the bumps and to rule out any fungal infection, get a KOH examination of the skin scrapings of the bumps done. This will confirm the diagnosis and specific treatment can be planned.
2-3 weeks after, although my symptoms were mild and there was no discharge, I went to get checked for STDs. Had to force my doc to test me for at least chlamydia. Tested "weak positive" for chlamydia on urine test. He put me 3 days 1g Zythromax. A week later my symptoms were still not 100% gone, and went back. Doc looked at my urine, said no white blood cells in urine, but decided to put me on 2 weeks of Minocycline 50mg twice daily.
Will have to wait till Monday for results. As for minocycline, I've taken 4 pills so far in past 48 hours, no noticeable difference. I could manage the pain of scalp bumps, but the chin bumps are highly noticeable and embarrassing.
I just read up on Gram-Negative Folliculitis, and it seem to fit my condition better than anything I've researched so far. I read up on a forum where someone said not to take doxy or minocycline if I have gram-neg, and instead to take isotretinoin.
I've been dealing with what I thought was a sinus infection for the past week. Today was the first day I had relief from unrelenting facial pain without the need of painkillers. I was blowing out of lot of bloody mucus throughout the week, and today I blew out something from my nose that had the same feel of latex skin (link to a picture of it is provided below).
I've had a sinus infection for about 4 weeks now. After the second week I thought it had disapeared but i woke up one morning and it hit me like a truck. I feel very worn out, facial pressure, espically right under the eyes and around the nose. Within the past few days, I have not been able to breath out the left side of my nose. It feels plugged up and needing blown, but when I do blow my nose, nothing comes out.
