Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / February 2007What the RD said
I had a really good appointment with my RD. He listened, agreed, gave me a prescription for the anti-bio protocol. Metacycline which has replaced the old tetracycline with reduced side effects. I did not realize it had to be taken everyday,,, twice a day to begin with. We are having a beautiful, a clear cool day in Houston with a light northern breeze. It is the kind of day where I usually go outside and do something to fix up the place. I will resist today because my birthday present came in today and needs to be played. Xbox 360 game called Lost Planet. If you want me today,,, I will be wayyyy out in outer space killing some,,,, lets seee,,,, Robots,,,aliens,,,, and bad guys. Harv Yeah Harv... I am so happy to see you having some fun!!! You go kill some aliens..and have a good time. Oh and BTW Happy Birthday. Glad to hear you had a good RD appt.

Good for you for speaking up with your doctor and am so glad he was willing to let you give the antibiotic treatment a go. Keep us posted as to how you do! Praying it does the trick for you!!! LOL......good for you, also, that you are taking the day to lay low a bit and do something fun for yourself. You definitely deserve it!!! Have fun!!! BTW, happy, happy birthday! Blessings, Donna G. . . . ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... glad the appt went well, harv, and i sure hope you do well on the antibiotic treatment. diane > I had a really good appointment with my RD.

I have just come off 2 weeks of zithromax for another sinus infection and I swear each time it makes my arthritis better, but the doc I go to said that is only a treatment for people diagnosed early in their treatment. I was a little disappointed, will be curious to see how you do with it. He had said that he uses mynociline, (sp) for his new patients but because of my erosions in my feet I am not a candidate it has progressed to far. I thought it was worth a try.

Yes,,,, I was on a added dmard to see if I could take it now.

I will post in the newsgroup how it goes or if it does not go anywhere too. The doc said I could take an Embrel shot every now and then if needed. Harv A kid at heart! ;-) Happy Birthday, Harv!

Harv Happy Birthday Harv, I hope that this is a terrific day for you, and that things improve soon. Have a great Valentine's Day as well. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it. RB Please remove "Ima" to reply. Harv, glad to see you back. Good your RD appt was a good one. glad you are enjoying your birthday gift. Happy belated birthday. I hope you didn't mind that I put you on the birthday list I am now posting each month. Maybe it is better that you are playing the game instead of outside working. I did that and now am paying big time for the last two weeks too. ;-( I hope the Metacycline works for you and does a great job. Keep us posted to how it is going.

I suspect we won't see much of you for a while! ;-) I rediscovered my Railroad Tycoon addiction with my recent virus and find myself wasting far too much time on it, but I don't mind! Got my fingers crossed that the antibx protocal works for you.

The thing is though, the anti-bio used is not a strong one and we shall see what we see. harv |
