Mine started coming out too, and I can not tell you why. It just happened.

I'm wondering to if it may be thyroid problems (???). If you hear, let me

know! I thought maybe it was the name brand Minocin that Dr. Mercola

prescribed for me. When I mentioned that to him he said that the generic that

I was taking by Lederle is the best to be found, and to go ahead and get back

on that. Well, I am now taking the Lederle daily and the Brand Name Minocin

on MWF (can't bring myself to just throw it away, at $279 a bottle). I

actually think I have little fuzzies growing on my scalp, so maybe my hair's

coming back. But, this doesn't do you any good since you're not on Minocin,

huh? But what I'm thinking is my thyroid was messed up too, so it may have

something to do with that. Hope you get some answers and some hair regrowth!

February 27, 1999

would you share why you switched to Doxy. Were you having a setback

and is the dose the same. How long were you on the Minocin before you

switched. A lot of us right now are stuck and either going backwards or

not progressing.

Thanks.

Hugs

Hi Bev,

The main reason I switched to Doxi was because of permanent grey marks

that developed about 5 months into the minocin. If I would bang or cut

myself , I would bruise with an ugly dark bruise and it would not fade for

months. I then noticed after about three months these bruises were staying

a grey color and would not fade anymore. Several wrote me that the

discoloration was permanent . I have some very troublesome grey marks all

over my legs now. Very noticable. It will take lazer surgery to have them

removed at a handsome price!

I had great success with the mincocin at first but I had begun to slip

in both pain and in blood values. This was about the time the discoloration

started so when I saw my rheumo he did not want me to take any more minocin

as he was very unamused with the way my legs looked and told me to switch

to doxi.

The doxi has reacted in a TOTALLY different way as the mincoin. I never

had a flare up with the mincoin except in my lungs ( and this was pretty

severe). The doxi has caused a daily flare up for the past four months but

has really helped with the lung problems that I was experiencing while on

the minocin.

I am better in many ways on the doxi. Incredible energy and health.

Great sleeping and for the first time in YEARS I get up at 5:30 a.m. and I

am awake and full of energy, not dragging around like I used to. I never

was a morning person and now I as fuctioning like one! My mind is clearer

and anxiety levels have dropped tremendously.

In a strange wasy ( despite all of this pain) I feel the doxi will be

the drug of choice for me in the long run as I feel it is really

aggrevating the infections in the joints as where the mincocin didn't cause

this flare up. I feel it is " geting down into the joints and really

stirring things up " ! When I go see Dr. Franco in April I will know more.

Sorry so long!

Hi ,

I'm glad you shared this. Now if I have to switch I won't feel so bad.

The only reason I used Minocin first was because I get yeast infections

from Doxy. Now I know how to keep rhe yeast down. Do you know if you

need the name brand of Doxy to work like you need name brand Minocin to

work?

Thanks again

Hi

How long had you been on minocin? I have been doing so well on it. I

had a herk flare when I started then I just got better only my left

wrist was slightly sore, the swelling that had been in my right knee for

two years disappeared. Then this last week my right ankle has gotten

really sore amd so have my wrists and my knee is bothering me again.

Since I am new to this diagnosed 11/98 AP 12/98 I don't know if this is

just RA's way of playing with me or the cycle of treatment or February.

It is really annoying to have a setback because you expect to keep getting

better. Someone recently mentioned February being a bad month for us and

that is probably part of the equation too. I am thinking of trying Doxy if

my gp will agree. No one treatment plan seems to work for everyone here

does it? But I had a bad flu over Christmas and took a month to get back on

my feet while everyone else in our house either never got it or had a mild

episode. Maybe I'm still not fully back to where I was before the flu. I

was easing off Metho at the time too, so I should try to build up my

immunity. There are so many things to consider and we are all in the same

boat driving by the seat of our pants.

Love

Bev

Hair loss is usually a hormonal imbalance thing; toxic metals cause

hormonal imbalances. But some other things do too. Also aging can

bring some hormonal changes that affect hair. For men, saw palmeta

reverses some adverse hormonal changes and MSM helps a lot of people;

but some have problem with it.

All my endos and derms state that you need GOOD FATS for hair. Omega oils, olive oils, the good stuff. I went on a low fat diet for 18 months (eating less than 15 grams of fat per day) and little protein, and anemia. It caused some degree of permanent hair loss. Long term anorexia, low fat, protein, iron diets can cause follicular death. I was told I will get more regrowth but never be as dense as I once was. My lifestyle excellerated the process of involutionary alopecia (aging hair loss, every one gets this to a degree).

I was eating better but I've been sick lately, I must eat more. The last few days I've had a bowl of cereal and juice every day, that's it. I'm going to fry and egg and eat on orange now.janeVickie <gracie17db@...> wrote:

Pam:

Your 2 cents is worth a lot here. Thanks for sharing. I had hair loss from the same thing but had multiple surgeries(6) too and two hormone disruptions from thyroid meds and HGH, so if you get "interuptions" it's hard to regrow hair.

Has your hair regrown?

Hey All, check out this website www.florisene.com

iron is essential to regrow hair. I take Vtiron C iron pills with l lysine.

My hair came back pretty quickly after I went back to a normal diet.

But, with the implants came more hair loss. I've always had thin

hair, but it got to the point where I was losing a handful a day. I

thought it was normal until after getting them out. Now I lose in a

week what I was losing in a day! It's never been noticeable to

anyone but me though, thank God. I can't imagine what you all go

through. My best friend has hair loss in her family. She has

beautiful hair down to her butt. She's so afraid of losing it. So

far she doesn't have any signs, but her mom is nearly bald. It's so

sad. Is there something she can do even if it's hereditary?

Thanks!

I agree that diets are not good for our bodies, or hair, nails etc. I

try to eat good, and usually don't have any problems getting enough

of things like protein, good carbs and oils. My biggest problem is a

sweet tooth! hee hee, I love sugar! I just have always been a

chocolate, cookie, pie kind of girl, now I just do it in moderation

and when i do it I get on my spinning bike or my eliptical and ride

for an hour. This week i have been really good though. We ate out at

applebees and they have a new weight watchers menu, good stuff, all

low calorie, I had shrimp and it was yummy! I LOVE SEAFOOD, that is

my favorite!You def need to get more protien and fat in your diet.

Get that virgin coconut oil by garden of life and melt it then put it

in a yummy protein shake, that is the best treat!

I understand that hair loss is a frequent complaint related to mold. I

just ran across a story of someone else who lost hair in big hunks at

the http://www.moldacrossamerica.org/ web site.
