Guest guest Posted April 19, 2000 Report Share Posted April 19, 2000 Well I received the latest blood results. Have had RA since APRIL 1999. I take Minocin M-W-F 100mgs a day. I am also on 50mgs of Indomethacin along with Fish oils and other vitamins and supplements. Sept 1999 - Sed rate 119 RF 320 Oct 1999 - Sed rate 112 RF 80 Dec 1999 - Sed rate 114 RF 160 Feb 2000 - Sed rate 100 RF 40 April 2000 - Sed rate 78 RF Non detectable (Means less than 20) I am finally starting to feel somewhat normal. I still have flare ups but not as bad as I used to. I can eat almost anything but notice when I eat the items that I am allergic to , mostly dairy products, I tend to have a little more pain than usual. There is a LIGHT the end of the tunnel. PRAISE GOD!! This group really helped me in the beginning especially when I didn't know if this was working or not. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN THE PAST AND IN THE FUTURE TO COME.
