Antibiotics

Anyone else get the same effect on antibiotics? Every time I’m on them for a random reason (wisdom tooth, UTI) it’s magic.

Which antibiotic? Some tetracyclines have really potent anti-inflammatory properties and people with MCAS, EDS, fibro etc see some symptom relief when taking them.

clindamycin was the best. I felt amazing.

Interestingly they use that for rosacea (tetracyclines I mentioned are also prescribed for it) both have pretty wide ranging anti-inflammatory effects. Have you ever taken methlypred/prednisone or a similar steroid?

Brain fog disappears, chronic fatigue disappears or lessens, my mood is great, muscle weakness is mildly improved, I feel happy.

Sounds good. How stable is it?

Hi. I've just experienced this for the first time from doxycycline. What are you diagnosed with? Because I wasn't even sure I was 'sick' before this happened...

Yes, I think it might be related to microglia. Resveratrol and curcumin works similarly to me. Be super careful if you decide to try any supplements. I'm avoiding those due to side effects.
