Re: strange sensation after Minocin

[Guest guest]

Sinus reaction could be due to a low-level allergic response to the

carrier, or even the capsule material. Common fills or carriers include

corn starch and common reactions to such carriers are mild sinus

drainage. When the drainage is very slight you may not be able to detect

it - just get a felling that you need to clear your throat, as you

describe. It subsides after the body has dealt with the allergen - for

you in about an hour. Kind of like walking through a pollen field and

getting a runny nose for a few minutes.

I have the same thing happen but never connected it to Minocin. I take mine at

6:00 a.m. and by the time I get to work at 8:00 a.m., I have a lot of drainage

and have to constantly clear my throat. I take the brand name not generic.

Interesting what Geoff had to say.

I've been having the same thing, but never thought to connect it with

minocin. I've been on minocin since 12/24/98--it was my Christmas

present. The throat thing started a week or two ago I've been feeling

so good I haven't been keeping track of things like I use to I haven't

written in my Journal for weeks. I'm anxiously awaiting my remission

post. I think we should put remissions posts somewhere together I'm

trying to get a friend of a friend with lupus to on AP and like to print

out encouraging info, unfortunitely she's not online so she can't just

come here I know that would convince her.

This is really interesting! I was tested for allergies and none showed up.

However, I've begun to think I may be sensitive to corn because it seems I

have more pain after eating corn. This summer I plan to do the sensitivity

food testing with a nauropath.

I'm wondering if you take your Minocin with a full glass of water, even

two? If you don't the Minocin can get stuck in your throat and cause quite

a serious reaction. Perhaps it isn't stuck but isn't going down properly

and causing the sensation you're feeling?

Chris.

It could also reflect a general gut problem. Corn, like many grains, has a

complex structure which is hard to digest. People with celiac (spelling?)

disease show the small intestine flattening out (villi fold flat) when

gluten - or grains - are eaten. This can cause digestive problems...

You might want to find someone instead who can do the NEEDS assesment

(SP?). Ethel has some info on that. It's done using a computer and is

extremely sensitive and accurate. The issue isn't gross reactions of the

type allergists test for with the scratches and all. It's more along the

line of multiple minor sensitivities all of which added together end up

making a major impact on the immune system and overall health.

Sounds like corn is " really obvious " for you.

Hello all,

I have previoulsy written to but I had the same thing happened

except not only just after the mincocin I sometimes would have the need to

try to clear my throat during the day. I went to my internist about this

and she said it was yeast. After beefing up on the acidophillus and going

on a yeast and sugar free diet, the problem corrected itself.

I wouldn't have thought you could have a yeast problem by those symptoms but

if the acidophilus cleared it up that seems to be the answer. I am

constantly clearing my throat all day, and have slight phlegmy cough all

day. Also sinus/allergy feeling which I never used to have. Am going

to natureopath on Wed. 9th and see what he says. Will let everyone know

for their own informtion.
