Yeah, you got me there. Restville is a status, not a location.

| Figures + Again = I thought it was all figurative. Lives and working among Latins you kind of get polarized. Nothing is figurative for them - if you can't feel it, or experience it, it doesn't exist. jaja Anyhow, that is a very nice name!

| Joel, did you ever find a source of poultry in Peru that was not raised on fish meal? Cynthia

Hi Cynthia,
Not on the public market at least, and not practical other wise. Here in Peru, because of the coast being one of the driest deserts of the world, the cost of crops are elevated. So it makes sense to use the sea as a source of feed for the animals they raise. And actually chicken is what is most eaten here on the coast - very seasoned at that. So chicken, turkey, and pork, are all raised on fishmeal. I get to eat that only when I visit other countries.

| Wow, that sounds like quite a challenge for you. I guess it is a good thing cattle are vegetarians, or maybe you'd have to become a vegetarian. Happy to see you are still hanging in there given the challenges. Cynthia

| Can someone point me to the medication list. The Urologist has put me on Celecoxib for inflammation of the epididimus and I would like to know if it would clash with MP meds...

| Now he suspects an infection and has ordered Ciprofloxacin (250mg in am and 250mg in pm) - he said also never mind the Celebrex - now the question is what do I do about the Ciprofloxacin? Do I continue the Minocycline and Benecar at the same time? Last edited on Tue Dec 15th, 2009 00:49 by Joel Clark

Try this article:
I need to take a different antibiotic for awhile. What should I do?

| Thanks, both of the links were helpful! I guess since Ciprofloxacin is a flouroquinolone, I'll give it a try to see what happens.

| Another question: I'm taking 40mg of Benicar every 3 hours because it keeps the symptoms under control. Is there any benefit in extending beyond the comfort zone and suffering a bit?

What dosage of minocycline are you on?
Cynthia's post from Nov. 18th is still relevant. I don't know of any harm from being on it that frequently, but it is best not to be relying on that more than necessary and it would be better to adjust your IP level with antibiotic adjustment if you can.

| I'm taking 25mg of minocycline 3 times a week. I'll be checking my Vit.D level in a couple of weeks, but I suspect that I'm doing a good job at reducing it because the IP reaction has been on the increase. In fact, I've just decided to stop driving because of that - fortunately there is plenty of public transportation

If you need to stop mino or do it even less frequently that's O.K. - it is a sign your immune system is particularly strong. See Mary Sue and her experience --Benicar alone is fine, if that is what your body tells you.

| I just got my Vit. D-25 results back. In the last 3 months it has gone from 16.7 to 19, apparently because it's summer here and trying to keep up a busy schedule. I guess the increase of symptoms was due to the increase of Vit. d-125 acting as cytokines?

It is hard to say for sure. Sun exposure can also cause symptoms that are not IP but are photosensitivity reactions --either from light on the skin or the light coming into the eyes.
Are you covering up as much as possible and wearing NoIRs and a hat?
A high % zinc oxide can help, but one has to wear enough of it for the amount of time one is outdoors. To really block light, it may take as much as a layer of 25% zinc oxide for every 2 or 3 hours you are outside. But this may not be practical for you. It is also something that may not be good to do very often. I know of no risk, but on the other hand, there might be (they allow 25% zinc in sunscreens and 50% in diaper rash, put the sunscreens do not warn one about any problems with multiple layers). I think I wore about 4 layers when I was in Portugal and knew I might get sun more than 6 hours per day. I had no negative effects other than needing extra moisturizer (the zinc is somewhat drying to the skin).
I use the Kabana, since it is so high in zinc and has no synthetic chemicals (but it is rather greasy -- works O.K. if applied to face the night before). BTW, the light effect is nearly the same as far as vitamin D exposure when either in the sun or shade, in the car or inside near a curtainless window.
See: http://tinyurl.com/ca76l6
If you don't find mino palliative, you might want to go along on Benicar alone if the IP seems too strong for you.

| I'm wearing long sleeve shirts, and turning my collar up. Does the hair serve as protection?

not to my knowledge
I make sure to wear cotton hats with a good lining and wide brim
Having some hair may help to retain in place some extra zinc from the Zn based shampoo I use when I expect to leave the house

I use Kabana's bath gel/shampoo with zinc oxide to help protect my head, as I found the hair did not protect significantly. But this will only help for a couple hours. A hat works better, but the shampoo allows one to be able to take off one's hat for brief periods or helps with light coming through a window if you aren't too near a window for too long.
If the shirt is not too thick or you are outside a long time, some sun can get through, that is why layers are mentioned in the MP FAQs. One could wear zinc oxide under the shirt to help if it is too warm to wear layers and one is out a long time.
For most, outdoor exposure is not a big problem in raising 25-D, but it does seem to be for a minority.
