rheumatoid arthritis
"WOW! I have tried biologics, methotrexate, TNF blockers, and Prednisone to treat severe RA and basically concluded nothing treats this evil monster. Then, I tried doxycycline, and WOW. The agonizing constant pain and fatigue subsided within the first week. 200 mg a day for the next 90 days until my rheumatologist appt. I could hardly wait to share the great news!! I felt normal for the first time in 4 1/2 years!! Then, 35 days in things took a sudden turn. I started getting skin tears which is a common occurrence in the elderly. I am 50. My skin tone changed and appeared see through, opaque. When I ran my finger down my arm it instantly left a bruise. Suddenly I had pus bumps all up my arms and the back of my legs. Goodbye Doxy."
