Avatar n tn Hi. I have been on minocycline since I was 21 (now 29) for acne. I recently went to a new family practice Dr. While I was there he noticed I was on mino and asked how long I'd been taking it. I told him my acne treatment history. He pointed out that my shines were green (look like bruises). He asked how long I'd had those "bruises". I replyed that they'd been there longer then normal. Months maybe.
Avatar n tn I can feel it straining, by the end of the day it feels like and optic tooth ache. Do eyes just stop functioning as well for no apparent reason? I was using alot of hardcore addhessives at work, could the fumes from those chemicals have caused it? Also I was taking minocycline prior ? Can eye damage repair itself over time?
494623 tn?1278279352 I have a Friend in Canada who has been on Minocycline for her RA for years and says she could not function without it,I asked my Doctor to prescribe this for me but he says it's not proven to be effective so wouldn't give me it !!! I have read that it IS effective not as a cure but by killing the bacteria that may be causing the RA symptoms. I am totally convinced it was the MRSA infection that caused my RA in the first place as I was absolutely fine before that happened ....
Avatar m tn Hi, im peter i have bacterial infection in my mouth, i used MINOCYCLINE 100mg for past 2 day but yet not cured. i got it from online shop International Drug Mart This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/STDs/minocycline/show/246802">minocycline</a>.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn My LLMD added minocycline with the Bicillin LA I have been taking for months. During the week or two on minoccycline, had major problems with dizziness and painful toes. Now I am taking azithromax and tindimax, along with the 2.4 mu of Bicillin LA two shots a week. Have felt bad, feet tingling and anxiety back badly, especially around 8 a.m. Also feel spacey and get headaches. As some of you know, I have lost a lot of body fat during the last two years, and it is still getting worse.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn Has anyone ever successfully used antibiotics (minocycline, etc.) for Psoriatic Arthritis? Please share.
Avatar n tn Hi, I need some advise regarding my teeth. I had a root canal done on my tooth 19th maybe about 3 years ago. 2 years ago my gum swelled because of pus & infection therefore the dentist did another root canal to remove the infection. I found out last sep. that there's some infection underneath that same tooth again, but because of some complication with insurance i didn't do anything about it till now. This time there's no swelling or pain or any sort of discomfort.
Avatar f tn Is there a better oral antibiotic (than minocycline) for trteating staphaureas? Should I accept this discoloration?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn even if the tooth falls out the infection could have already damaged the bone and other teeth. run to the dentist now!!!!!
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn Hi, I got a bride fitted on my top left side, it is 4 teeth and fits on the tooth next to the top left wisdom tooth, obviously that tooth was ground and made smaller for the bridge to fit on it, the tooth was absolutely healthy and fine, i have never had any problems with that tooth earlier, the day grinding took place that tooth became sore, very very sensitive and I had to get temp.
4322328 tn?1353998038 Go see a dentist but for now try gargling with salt water. Your baby isn't hurt inside but if it is an infection in your tooth and it doesn't get fixed it could move into your blood which would be bad.

Avatar n tn Sounds like you need an antibiotic, and even some vicoden or something. I'm sure being pregnant limits your options for pain control, and maybe even the antibotics. The doctor, or dentist who did the extraction should have given you antibiotics and pain medication if they were needed. I'd call whoever extracted your tooth and find out if pain medication and/or antibiotics are warranted.
Avatar f tn Sounds like a tooth abcess, I had one of this this spring. Got a bump on the gum above the tooth. It can make the tooth hurt, but it doesn't have to. You need to go see a dentist, not good to have infections in the teeth. You need antibiotics and then a root canal with a crown. Very expensive, but the only chance to save the tooth.
Avatar f tn Thank you for responding. i took an antibiotic last week for 6 days, i had to before she would pull it, but I am in SUCH pain now that the novecain has worn off! I took some tylenol but I am hoping this heals ridiculously fast lol. Im glad my baby should be ok though.
Avatar n tn What can I give my dog to help reduce the infection in her tooth before her appointment to have it removed?
