minocycline hives

She was taking minocyclene for acne and after about a week broke out in hives and now has severe joint pain that goes from one knee to the other and then shoulder area and had swelling of feet and hands(which went away after a 2 days). She sometimes feels fine with little pain and sometimes unbearable joint pain and can barely walk. The hives come and go also.

I'm not really surprised anymore when I wake up with some jacked up new symptom, but I thought I'd pop in real quick and see if anyone knows if this is lyme related. I just assume all of my symptoms are, because I was pretty healthy before this mess. I woke up 2 days ago and started getting hives on my arms that itched like crazy. One day later, they're all over my body, feet, legs, back, chest, even my head! Super super itchy. Could it be a herx or something?

I don't understand how I could still have hives, but I do. I break out in the evening. I have not taken any antibiotic for almost two weeks. I also noted an increase in my tinnitus with the first hive breakout. It is also worse in the evening, even with taking into account that things tend to be more quiet at bedtime. I actually have more tinnitus regardless of the ambient noise level. So weird. I don't know if this is herxing or the remnants of an allergic reaction.

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.

Minocycline is one of the listed drugs that cause vitamin B12 malabsorption. Minocycline also has anti-thyroid effects. Long term treatment with minocycline (at least 100 mg/day) can cause hyperpigmentation of the skin, nails, bones, thyroid, teeth, palate, eye, heart valves. Thyroid cancer is frequently found with black thyroid syndrome (macroscopic black discolouration of the thyroid gland).

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.

I was diagnosed with Lyme based on a positive Western Blot test and a Sunnybrook test that was indicative on the 93 band (I think that was the band) I am on Minocycline and was wondering if others out there were also on it and if it worked for them. I seem to be getting better. There are ups and downs but I am able to move much better than anytime in the past 7 and a half years. Just wondering how long one has to be on the drug and if it really makes you better.

I have all of the symptoms, no money to get tested. I do have some old minocycline and tetracycline from old acne.

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?

Thanks in advance for your response. I'm a 19 year old male that had a potential exposure 5 months ago with a female who is known to get around. The sex was unprotected. For the last year, I've been on 100mg of minocycline per day to treat acne. I looked up that minocycline is an investigatory drug for HIV because it can potentially reduce replication and activation in latent infected HIV cells, primary CD4+ cells.

I know that you have already answered questions about antibiotics affecting HIV tests, but I wanted to ask this specific question. I am on 50mg of Minocycline twice a day, every day, on a long term basis for acne. When I searched the internet, I found a handful of results about Minocycline affecting HIV patients.

She took a lot of blood, changed me from doxy to Minocycline m-w-f until lab results come back. Yesterday, she emailed saying I'm neg for Anaplasma and Erlichia. "There is one bacterial opportunistic infection the will just help me decide treatment plan. I want to know how you are doing before I change anything up, so let me know." Of coarse I emailed right back but haven't heard anything.

ve read on here that a person taking PEP should test after 3 months of being off PEP to obtain a conclusive result. I took minocycline for 4 months after possible exposure. Then got tested 3 and a half weeks later (around 5 months). Negative result. 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 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?

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.

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.

I was taking 1800 mgs a day of Trileptal in my first 5 weeks of pregnancy. Minocycline 100 mgs . Should I be concerned that there are abnormalities or did I possibly quick the medication in time?

A clinical trial led by doctors Luanne Metz and Wee Yong shows the common acne medicine minocycline can slow the process of MS in people who have experienced initial symptoms of the debilitating autoimmune disease. The clinical trial that led to minocycline’s proved efficacy was conducted at the university’s Hotchkiss Brain Institute at the Cumming School of Medicine. The results of the trial are to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday.

I was taking minocycline for about a month. I went to my Obgyn and found out I was 7 weeks pregnant. Could being on minocycline for a month when I was 7 weeks pregnant affected my baby?

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.

It says that minodene belongs to a class of drugs called tetracycline and the active substance is minocycline as minocycline hydrochloride dihydrate. Still no difference to the result??
