I took minocycline at the end of the year but realized I didn't actually receive a full course for 3 months. I'm waiting to hear from my consultant if I should start a new course of the drug.
I can certainly say that having not been on it, the inflammation in my hands and calcinosis is returning. I would say for some reason it helped my right hand more than my left but perhaps that's because my left is dominant. I had googled quite a bit about the drug and felt worried as there are lots of stories about a case where someone went blind and headaches. There are side effects with every drug an we might not get any of them. I still wonder what it does to us over time but at the same time feel the calcinosis takes over so if the drug does work then that would be good. All the best with your decision.
