Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Has anyone noticed any relief from their symptoms with on antibiotics? I tried the erythromycin, bactrim and amoxi without success but give me a z-pack and its pain relief and relief from the fatigue. Its almost like a huge dose of prednisone. I know last year after my bladder surgery I had two great months-couldn't figure out how or why it'd make my knee pain go away- I honestly believe it was from the antibiotics during the surgery.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 : I have been on Minocycline for years now. I was taking it long before being diagnosed with RA. Who knows....maybe I would have displayed symptoms earlier had I not been on it??? I am still taking it because it interacts just fine with my other prescribed meds, and I figure I've got nothing to lose by staying on it. Honestly, I haven't noticed any relief because of it, but I am on several other meds. Hard to tell what's working and what's not, right? My GP has RA and claims that Minocycline is what has allowed him to function and remain " pain-free " for two years now. Who knows....maybe he's just in remission?
