Hi everyone…
I’m not 100% certain, but I feel as though I’m experiencing excessive swelling/water retention as a result of taking Minocycline. I notice that I seem to urinate more frequently when I’m on Mino (mostly at night), and I experience swelling in my legs that I normally don’t experience. Has anyone had this experience, or have any feedback to share?
Thanks,
MichelleJuly 27, 2016 at 9:22 pm #456235PhilCParticipantHi Michelle,
Are you taking any other medications, like an NSAID?

Yes, I take 2-3 NSAIDs per day and a Pro-Biotic.July 28, 2016 at 2:34 pm #456246SpiffyModeratorI, too, have noticed more fluid retention in my feet and ankles…especially my left foot. Looks fine in the morning and sometimes is fine at night, but sometimes I do get a little creeped out with the puffiness in feet. I looked it up and it does say that minocyclene can cause fluid retention in individuals but it is not common. Mine is not so bad but would like to know the cause.

July 28, 2016 at 6:05 pm #456248SpiffyModeratorHow are you doing? Are you in remission? Yours was one of the first stories I followed when I first got sick. I so hope you are doing well.

Which NSAID are you taking? You should see a doctor and get some blood tests done. You need to make sure that your kidneys are working OK.

I too followed your story, Michelle, and would love an update on how your doing on AP.
Cindy.
