Re: Re: azythromyacin use in AP

[Guest guest]

, I have Polymyositis and used Azithromycin to

treat. It worked very well with no side effects. I

took 250 mgs 3 days a week for 1 year then tappered to

250 two days a week for the next 6 months then went to

250 once a week for approximately 6 months. I have

been off all treatment for the past 7 months and

remain in remission. I started regaining strength

within a couple of weeks after starting the AP.

Azithromycin is the only antibiotic that I tried as I

have a very sensitive digestive tract and do not

tolerate most Antibiotics well. I had taken the Zith

for upper respiratory infections and new that this

would not upset my system. I did not herx but it

worked well and should this ugly disease rear it ugly

head again I will go back to the Zith.

Hope that this helps.

Angelia,

I was placed on Zithromax, 250mgs 3x/week, after I developed a sensitivity to

Minocycline, and I went into remission about a year after that. I've been on it

ever since without any problems. If you have any specific questions, contact

me directly.

became too sensitive to it and I just started azythromyacin this week. I'm

concerned about using any antibiotic besides mino to treat my RA. Anyone have

experience with zithro? Can I get into remission with this? Will I backslide?

What if I don't herx with zithro, does that mean its not working?

Re: rheumatic For Esther - Re: New/Old and Effective RA Treatment

PS: Dr.Reiss recognized early that every women may have a different

hormone requirement. For this reason the

dose should not x mg/day, rather observe your body's reaction and

optimize according to symptyms.

He tells you for every hormone the symptoms of too low or too high.

For example estrogen: Too low, results in night sweats, Anxiety,

Depressed, fatigue, weight gain

Too high, gives you tender breasts

and water retention.
