Jarme, I agree with you but there have been studies saying people have found relief from Rheumatoid by using Doxycycline. I was so desperate I begged my Rheumy for it. She told me to go ahead and try it but I would be back asking for my biologic. She was right.

Isn't Doxycycline an Antibiotic? I haven't heard of that treating RA, might prevent infections, but I would think you body would get use to an antibiotic. Just my thoughts. Hugs.

My rheumy said go ahead and try it (I insisted) but it won't work, I did and it did nothing. Back on biologics
