Question

Very interesting... glad you are improving. Scleroderma is quite a battle in itself!

May I ask what antibiotic? A few years ago I gave a talk to our State's local SD group, and no antibiotics were being discussed then. Is this new?

Many of them were suffering from low B12 due to aggressive use of proton pump inhibitors for GERD, which seems pretty common in SD patients.

Also magnesium is very useful for them. One gal had black hands from severe Raynaud's and had tried all the drugs available to possibly increase her circulation. I had her on Magnesium and Vit E and she thus avoided the amputation, which was held over her head! Because of my working with her, I ended up speaking to the whole group.

So I am very curious about the antibiotic.
