Advice & Tips
My acne cleared up. It aggrivated my stomach and caused fungus to grow in my mouth, on the teeth, in my personal regions and in my stomach. I was extremely sensative to sun and burned horribly. My local grocery store has a fee abx that are free. This was one.

Advice & Tips
TAKE THE WARNINGS ABOUT SUNLIGHT SERIOUSLY. After being on Doxycycline for about two months I began getting bad Porphyria even after being outside for just fifteen minutes. Other than that this medication was fine.

Advice & Tips
as this treqatment is for a seperate disease from MS, I cannot comment on its effects at helping with anything MS related. I also have Hidradenitis Suppurativa, this is the cause of the boils as it is an inflammatory skin disease. for this it was quite effective at keeping the boils at bay, but has not rid me of an underarm one which still persists.

Advice & Tips
This treatment was highly effective at erradicating the boils. it is a shame that I know they will probably return the next time I am stressed.
