I feel crappy.
Here’s my issue: I started Remicade because Humira was worthless and have had two infusions so far. Until about a week ago, I felt fabulous. I had more energy, was going less and felt all around good. Unfortunately, as a result of the immunosuppressant qualities of Remicade, I had a flare of Rosacea. I tried the topical I was given but that didn’t help. So I went to see my GP and the on-call Doc gave me a prescription for Tetracycline to help with the Rosacea. I’ve been taking two a day for about a week now and my face is clearing up, but the tetracycline seems to be giving me diarrhea!
What’s the **** is that about!?
I’m starting to feel just as bad as I did before I began the Remicade only it’s worse now because I had those few weeks of greatness and I had forgotten how it felt to be ok.
Has anyone had a similar issue? Did the side effects wear off?
Does anyone know of a med that’s similar to Tetracycline that may be better for my tummy and still help with my skin?
