Just a quickie.
I am happy with the way I am feeling without the minocycline.
Just to recap, I began taking minocycline a few months ago in an effort to accelerate the rate of improvement that I gleaned from adding prazosin 12 mg/day. It worked. However, I then discovered that I felt significantly better when I increased the dosage of prazosin to 20 mg/day. It was a logical move for me to discontinue the minocycline to see if I still needed it. I was not hesitant to restart it if I were to deteriorate. Unfortunately, my desire to feel well while on vacation prompted me to restart the minocycline when I felt even the slightest bit worse. So, I discontinued minocycline and restarted it twice because my impatience and need to remain improved. However, my logic got the best of me, so I discontinued minocycline a third time an committed to not restarting it unless I deteriorated such that I would not be able to function well enough to get home via air travel. Despite some mood drift, I have remained more than well enough to enjoy the rest of my vacation. In this state, I will have no trouble making it home.
Yay!
Feeling better and more confident that I am to achieve remission within a year. I know that sounds like a long time, but I was a very sick puppy, and there is an enormous amount of ground to cover.
My best regards to everyone.
