No.
Not me personally. It helped my intercranial hypertension.

Yes, but I have chiari malformation which puts me in the high risk category. Doxy was fine but could not take Mino. In the general population I think raised ic is a pretty rare side effect of mino.

Thanks GretaM and desertwind.. Either one of you have Bartonella?
Desertwind, I had been told that I have a low lying cerebellum. Do you think mino could affect this?

Mino has been used for lyme for many years. It may not be the antibiotic du jour but it was many years back. It has an excellent ability to pass the blood brain barrier and is very good for neuro lyme. Certainly when combined with a cyst buster such as Tini or flagyl you'll have a good combo to try.
