Guest guest Posted September 22, 1999 Report Share Posted September 22, 1999 Hello all, First of all my never ending battle with elevated ASO titre.Sept 98 it was 306 so started Ampicillin 250 mgm three times a week(as well as my Mino and Clind).Slowly but surely decreasing to 251.Then in May it jumped 18 points to 269.Thought a year would go by with no progress so changed my strategy.In case Mino and Amp were working against one another I did this on my own accord-Week One I took Mino and Clind.Week two I took Amp and Clind.Week3 Mino-Wk4 Amp and so on.I feared my Rh Arth would come back with a vengeance but that didn't happen (Been on AP for two years).And in Aug my ASO dropped 15 points to 254.(coincidence?).Since I was seeing my Rheum in Sept (who doesn't know I am treating my ASO titre since she won't do it) and because I was now beginning to feel a bit achier and thought my sed rate would be up and she would wonder why,I momentarily stopped Amp.But she didn't check my sed rate.So for the next three months I will try decreasing my Mino and increasing my Amp and see what that does for me.If nothing else I will find out which way works best for me!! Secondly for those of you who live in Calgary or know someone who does we will be starting our Antibiotic Interest Group Meetings again on Mon,Sept 27 at 7pm in Colonel Belcher Hospital Auditorium.We urge EVERYONE to come out and phone your buddies -there is a high possibility we may have a reluctant Rheum there and we need lots of good stories.
