Hello All,
I am new to this board, as I just found it yesterday. I'm sure that my story is much like many of yours. I started having stiffness in my hands last August, and by October it was confirmed as RA. I felt like I had suddenly been hit by a train. The first thing my dr wanted to put me on was prednisone and mtx. I had to use the prednisone for a few weeks to get the swelling under control, but I refused the mtx, as I know how toxic it is. I have been treating myself with diet changes (no gluten or lectins) and a vitamin supplement with natural anti-inflammitory ingredients. I believe that these things are helping, but I can tell that I am starting to lose the battle, as my hands, feet and neck get a little stiffer each week. I have been searching for alternative treatments, and a cause of RA. I don't just want to treat the symptoms with chemicals.I have asked my rheumatologist about minocycline treatment to no avail, so I am looking for a dr with experience in this treatment in the San Diego area.
It looks like a lot of people have had success with the antibiotic treatment, so I want to try it as soon as possible.
Be well! Lynnie

Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. Our phase two of implementing this new board will be to set up a message, simular to the board guidelines message that will provide an RBF email address that new folks can use to request an AP doctor, that way they won't even have to register or post their personal email address.
As an Admin I retrieved this requestor's private email and will send the list. In the future the requestors will be able to directly email the RBF volunteers who answer these requests, including and primarily, Richie.
Even so, it is up to all of us to help these new folks, thanks for bring this to our attention, I, for one, have been more than a little overwhelmed with all this in the past couple weeks.
Your RBFV

I have asked the owners of the software about it. Have you tried plain old black (default) text? I much prefer the font and color that you choose, it is easier on the eyes (as is your avatar), but please try the default text and see what you get.

February 20, 2008 at 10:53 pm #309028A FriendParticipantRichie,
You are a George Clooney lookalike! It's good to see your face after all these years. I may “briefly” introduce myself to you old friends — at least for a day. It is good to have a mental image. Hope all is well with you.
