HELLO EVERYONE!! Ok I read a book that says that people with RA, LUPUS and other autoImmune diseases can actually go into remission by taking the antibiotic tetricycline/minocyline. The doctor in this book says that it works. It is not a cure but can bring on remission and he said it safe because it is different from other antibiotics and does not cause the normal response of taking antibiotics to long,which is resistances to infections. Have any of you ever heard about this? I was just floored when I read this and will be asking my Rhemy!!! I just had to ask you all. THanks!

When I am on steroids any length of time I get Rosacea or something like that....and Im put on tetricycline. I guess its a common thing to get when on steroids my derm doc said. I then get the yeast infection which is very common with these antibiotics so take the pill to stop that.....Good luck, hope it works for you.

I am taking steriods,have been for over four years. Low dose most of the time and then high dose on and off. I have Rosacea or a red face with broken capillaries all the time. I also have gotten them much worse on my legs

Does the tetricyclin help with your red face?? Do you have lupus?? I need to see a Dermatologist,but just haven't. My Rhemy said all is because of steriods

THanks!
