Re: azythromyacin use in AP

[Guest guest]

How many of you have tried azythromyacin? I was on minocycline but 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.
