Hi All,
I am on Doryx and Rifampin. And I think it may be working! I guess we'll see but my foot pain was worse for a while and now getting better and my overall joint pain and fatigue are improving. HOWEVER, my babs sx are creaking back. [Frown]

My heart tachycardia is back, my air hunger is worse and my muscle fatigue increasing. So my question is what can I take with rif and doxy for babs?

I took Mepron and Clindamycin with Rifampin. Can you ask your LLMD about the Rifampin/Doxy combo possibly affecting your heart?

I would ask your doctor first.
