Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Ditto here. I have been on doxycycline for two months now. My opthalmologist put me on it because of the side effect of thinning tears. It didn't thin the tears and I have had some rather long and difficult flares while I was on it!!....Marina in Oh > > Hi > > Been there and done that with regard to mycoplasmas being the reason for acquiring RA, Lupus as well as scleraderma...I did 18 mo of antibiotic treatment including 5 mo of IV antibiotics (clindamycin) but no success for RA. > > Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 They thought it was the cause of Dercum's too. I went the antibiotic route too (I think it was tetracycline?), no effect. Someone last year thought Dercum's was infectious, and wanted to keep me out of my aquatherapy class! Staying warm, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
