Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hello, Thought I'd check in to say that I'm really liking the antibiotic therapy. It hasn't quite been a month but I can feel the medicine working. Joints look great. (Still have a stubborn swollen tendon on left hand; a recent cortisone shot helped for only 2 days.) I take 200 mg of ibuprofin 2x day along with the antibiotic. Next Tuesday I'm visiting a rheumatologist who has quite a bit of experience with antibiotic therapy. I like my current rheumy but am considering a change for several reasons. I'm swimming at least once a week, walking, getting massage and acupuncture, taking supplements, watching the diet, and getting adequate rest. Doing well.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Congratulations on your success. From what I’ve read most people don’t see results quite that soon so that is very encouraging. I hope it continues and gives you even better results for the future. God bless.
