Rash Reaction to Minocycline

[Guest guest]

I am writing to see if I could talk to anyone who had a Lupus Like rash reaction

to minocycline. I think that's what's going on with me. I am wondering if other

symptoms I am having right now could be that also.

Thanks, Ann

I was wondering if that heat theory would work like resting it on your stomach

or such.

Does it sound far fetched or possible?

I have Lyme disease since 1994. If you are on a new medication and have Lyme

disease the Lyme bacteria is probably trying to get away from the medication

and is close to the skin surface causing a rash. A good heating pad placed at

the sight of the rash will kill the bacteria and eliminate the rash. Even a

container filled with hot water and placed against the rash will kill the

bacteria. The water needs to be pretty hot but you can keep a cloth between

yourself and the container.

All my best regards!

Hello :

The heat theory is not a theory! I can assure that it works as I have

performed the treatment on more than several occasions. It will work anywhere

the

Lyme bacteria is close to the skin surface. I suppose a good hot bath would

also work, but it will not destroy bacteria when it is deeper inside the body.

The heat is what does the job so if there was a way to get the heat deeper

insde the body all the bacteria could be killed. I have pretty extensive

experience with Lyme and have tried many things. Different treatments have

produced

varying results. Sometimes with near fatal results, I suppose due to a HERX

condition with too much die off at one time. This is not a problem with a

heating pad at all, however.

Best regards!

You should talk with your doctor. Minocycline can cause a transient

lupus-like syndrome. Other rashes have also been reported with this

drug.

Exercise can help in this area, as well as hot tubs and saunas.

If only we could manage to get off the couch to actually exercise.

I know it isn't easy, but I know the buggers hate it.......that's why we always

feel worse after exercise....bacteria die off increases....I never did any

walking or a hot bath or shower close to bed time.........it disturbed my sleep

even more.
