[Fwd: MINOCIN/MINOCYCLINE]

[Guest guest]

Just because lately I've been skrewed and not even kissed first....I tend to

want

to believe this was done on purpose!! If Minocin doesn't work anymore all of us

will be using their very expensive drugs and turning back to rheumatologists

again...I am one of the ones affected by this since last October. I am now on

tetracycline and my fingers are more uncomfortable (not really pain)l althou my

fibro has gone away and I dont have any other pain.

Hi Ginny,

Thanks for gathering this info, although it is more than disturbing. I

am wondering if patients of Drs. Trentham, Franco and Sinnott, who are

the respected experts using the AP, would consider contacting each of

them, passing along this info and getting their opinions as to whether

the change by Wyeth is something we need to be concerned about, whether

we should be looking at using a different antibiotic and also whether

each of these doctors would be willing to contact Wyeth to explain to

Wyeth that their change to Minocin/Minocycline could be detrimental to

our treatment. Any comments regarding this?
