How long do the JARISCH HERXHEIMER REACTION Takes?

[Guest guest]

I'm on 200mg minocycline Mon. Wed. Fri...I been on it for about 3 to 4

weeks and my Ck went from 1500 to 3600 and my pain in my hands is

really bad now and I'm getting rashing again like when I first

started. I have dermatomyositis. I also tapered down off the

prednisone from 10mg to 5mg in the last couple months but the rash and

pain just started with me taking the antibiotic. How long does it last

and when should my ck start to come down? I'm taking probiotic and on

the diet of fish and veggies, taking fish oil omega 3.

Hi, I've been read up on this for my wife. What

dosage prednisone did they start you out on? She

started at 15mb but had minor responses and it didn't

even budge the ANA numbers and her rashes remain the

same.
