Took Minocycline for acne and got the Lupus like symptoms, blood in my feces, & painful defecation. Help?

I have stopped the Minocycline and the Lupus joint pain is gone but the other problem remains. I also have undigested food in my feces. All this started after starting the Minocycline, Differin, and Benzaclin treatment for my face. I don't want to have a colonoscopy if someone knows what is going on. Has anyone else had this happen and what did you have to do to treat it?

I think you should see a doctor sweetie. I know its a scary thing but only a doctor can tell you exactly what is going on.
Reply:*Gasp* oh no....I'm on the same stuff!! Hope I don't end up with the same thing. You should probably call your dermatologist and explain what happened to her/him, it may have been an allergic reaction or a side effect. Either way, you probably need to change your prescription and your dermatologist may tell you you need to see a doctor to treat the problems.
Reply:Yikes. I believe medications are for the most part evil.





I would eat food that is high in fiber like vegetables. Eat salads with a variety of veges. Drink lots of filtered (reverse osmosis) water or Perrier or San Pellegrino. Stay off soda, coffee and any drink or food with high fructose corn syrup. In fact don't eat anything that has chemical crap in it. That alone should cure your acne.





Hopefully your symptoms will go away once the chemical the doctor gave you get out of your system.
