Hi Angie:

I hope you are feeling better. This disease is such a bummer from so

many aspects. Let me know if you think the Minocin helps. I seem to

recall it took about a month for it to

start to work but I didn't really appreciate what it was doing until I

forgot to take it and

the fibro pain and Reynaud's came back. It is once you don't take it

that you really do see it helps.

My doc was worried about the color of my hands and vascular

insufficiency. Vascultitis

is indicative of more serious outcome per the literature but I'm too

stubborn to listen.

Both doc and I feel the Ibu is the best and such large doses because of

the vasculitis.

Hope my stomach holds in there, but so far so good. How much Ibu do you

take? It

seems to thin the blood better than some of the other anti-inflammatory

meds except for

asprin which is why I think I respond better to Ibu than the others.

Think I'm going to

add a coated asprin a couple times a day since vasculitis is acting up.

You should see

how long I bleed after I shave my legs. It's pathetic. Only thing I

worry about is if

I would have to have surgery, I'd be in big trouble. I'm sure they

wouldn't even consider

doing surgery on all the ibu I'm on but run the risk of blood clots and

strokes if my blood

isn't thin from vascultitis. Thank goodness the low dose birth control

pills are helping the endometriosis and it is tolerable now. Docs don't

think risk of blood clots from that is very high since it is such a low

dose.

Hope everyone has a painfree day or one in which God helps us find a way

to deal with it.

Take care,

did you get yeast infections from the minocin? I saw two rheumy in two weeks,

the first one added the minocin the second one wants me off, I am stuck

between the rock and the hard place here knowing what to do. so far I am

still taking it as it is helping another condition I have and that was an

unexpected bonus.

I take 2400 mgs of ibu at a time and I can take it 4 times a day if swelling

is severe. It helps with the swelling but not the pain any more.

Hi Roy,

I'm doing very well. Thank you. Lu has been a real comfort for me

lately, and I really should not rag on her. But I'm only a man.. Lu was

explaining the operation of the computer, and it seems that she can

accomplish a lot, if she just uses a mouse lick.

Hi Lu

I bet I'll get that phone call a lot sooner now. I still Love ya.
