cornered by hyperreactivity to abx

Very sorry to hear of this dilemma.

Have you considered just running down the list of every abx that

might be helpful, making sure to keep good records?

That would mean trialing basically any and every abx. Trying them

could certainly be painful or even dangerous.

Who knows if all MCS/hyperreactivity is the same in nature (and I've

spent almost no time studying it) but perhaps its immunologic in

nature.

If so, its even possible that one member (X) of a closely related

class of drugs might be do-able while other members (Y and Z) of that

class are not. But that chances that that would be true would

decrease with the number of atoms X shares with the non-doable

molecules. And anyway, if a member of a given class proves

intolerable, it might be wise not to revisit that class until there

are no other reasonable untried classes left.

yes, except in the case with minocycline, which causes serious reactions in a lot of people, and yet doxycycline is pretty well tolerated by most. penny <usenethod@...> wrote: >Anyone know a way out?> > --BobVery sorry to hear of this dilemma.Have you considered just running down the list of every abx that might be helpful, making sure to keep good records?
