Hi Aboyer, I am not really sure yet, I was flaring so bad the doctor put me on steroids and have started to wean with a week to go. I have upped my doxy to 100mgs with the Zith 125mgs and feel really well with minimal pain. I think my chest feels a lot better with the Zith but not really sure if it’s the steroids or not, I will know more when I am off the steroids completely and will let u guys know.
What dose r u on?…..AnnieDiagnosed with RA in 2004, after trying many conventional meds I changed to mino.
2015 changed to doxy 50mgs
2016 went off doxy, after getting double pneumonia and massive flare put myself on 250 mgs Zith & 50 mgs doxy, which I will increase slowly.
Supps, magnesium, NAC, vit c, krill oil, oregano oil, thisylin, turmeric, olive leaf extract, vit B, multi vit.That’s so good that it’s working. Did you have any side effects when first starting the zithromax? I was on doxy also but the joint pain it caused was too much. I’m on zithromax now and hopefully add in doxy later. Any supplements that help you?

No side effects at all with the Zith, although I am only taking 125mgs and the only side effect doxy has is dizziness even if I take with food, but a small price to pay ?
I take heaps of supps, thisylin, turmeric,vit B, NAC, krill oil, magnesium, multi vit, oregano oil, vit c, no gluten, dairy, minimum sugar ? All help I think and exercise.
Hope the Zith goes well for you ?Diagnosed with RA in 2004, after trying many conventional meds I changed to mino.

Sorry can’t help with that one as I only take probiotics and I am fine with the PB8, maybe someone else will chime in…..Annie

I actually bought some yesterday to add to my regimen. I started minocycline 12 weeks ago, and my AP doc added biaxin in about 8 weeks ago. Someone else posted recently that olive leaf extract helps decrease inflammation as well, so a double benefit there.
Hey, how is the biaxin working? My dr said she would try that if I couldn’t tolerate the zithromax. I actually found a combination oil of olive leaf and oregano oil on Iherb. I’m gonna try that and see.

Biaxin is working great. About 5-6 weeks into AP I was feeling so strange, I thought I was having increase in symptoms, so I panicked and asked my Doc for the IV infusions, which I didn’t have before starting mino because my symptoms were mild and I was newly diagnosed. She explained to me why the IV clindy is used in some cases – and she recommended just adding another oral abx and pulse them, so she changed my protocol from mino BID every day to mino MWF, biaxin TThS. I think it’s worked out really well. My increasing symptoms halted, and I have definitely noticed small, but gradual improvements here recently. Still 2 steps forward, 1 step back.

I seem to remember that you have been very sensitive to medications? Just proceed carefully when you start the olive leaf/oil of oregano. Both are anti-microbial and anti-fungal and can have quite a powerful effect. I tried oil of oregano a few years ago and couldn’t tolerate it, even at 1 drop – I had a strong and immediate flu-like response that sent me to bed. Responses are very individualised of course, but sometimes people assume herbals are mild and that isn’t necessarily the case

Annie, I eat Goat’s cheese. There’s a different fat molecule in it and I have no problem with it (also tested ok for me). Which is great, because I’ve always been in love with the (soft) goat’s cheese. It probably depends on what you react to in cheese. See here for some more info.
