Lymecycline did not help me, was on for a week, before a re flare. And sent to hospital for surgery but as beds full, sent home with coamoxiclav, on those for nearly 3 weeks before going back on lymecycline, again about a week and re flared up again, had an emergency dermatologist appointment made and she put me on rifampicin and clindamycin nearly two weeks on and feel niggles below the surface but nothing has flared up yet. Yet the side effects aren’t the best. X
