"minocycline ruined my heath.  i took it for two months back in 1999 and have been dealing with repercussions ever since.  within one month of taking it, i lost feeling in parts of my left leg, my feet went numb, i had such painful joint and muscle pain that i could hardly walk.  my wrists and hands hurt so bad that i couldn&#039;t brush my own teeth (lupus).  i had to get a handicap tag because i could no longer walk more than a few yards.  these symptoms lasted for 9 more months.  then lessened after some significant work to fix my gut and liver health (problems caused by the medicine).   i&#039;ve been managing the damage caused by this dangerous drug for the past 19 years, healthy now for the most part but 2 months of mino ruined decades."
