There are PwMS who take antibiotics all the time, and swear by them. My neuro was going to put me on minocycline full time as infections are KILLER for me, but I am allergic to that family of drugs.

The U of Calgary, in Alberta, Canada, is doing a trial on minocycline and MS, and I know there has already been one with Copaxone that proved it was more effective then Copaxone alone:

There are other antibiotic regimes that are also being used for PwMS. . . but they are much more complex to follow.

Are your troublesome lesions mostly spinal by chance, Keith?
