RA Factor is 25. It was 37 in February. 28 last September. This is the lowest it has been but 1 must admit 1 wish things could move a little faster. But 1 am thankful it is where it is. It was 71 almost three years ago. Rest of blood work is good. My platelets and lymphocytes will sometimes slip right below normal but not enough to worry about. 1 am still searching for some more triggers to try to get this factor down. Generally, 1 am feeling amazingly well considering what 1 have been through. My top three helpers are my Minocycline, diet (HUGE), and LDN.

I take 100 milligrams Minocycline one time in the mornings on MWF. I have to have mine compounded because I am allergic to fillers. She uses methyl cellulose only. LDN is at 3.5. I moved up very slowly starting at .5. I have been at 3.5 for many months. My doctor and compounding pharmacist want me to try to go up but I always stop myself. Take care!
