Acne/Arthritis - please help

Hi all,

I am posting this in order to ask for a remedy for my wife.

My wife has been using metacycline antio-biotics for more than 5 years (when her was age 22) on a continious basis to treat here severe acne problem (having acne all over the face, everywhere in the chest and everywhere in her back), so it was a quiet severe one, the allopathic doctors said her acne is strange and it is not a usual acne and it seems a immune disorder.

The Metacycline anti-biotic treated the symtoms and she was not having acne anymore, but as soon as she stops,the acne comes again, the doctors said she need to take the anti-biotic for her whole life.

second event:

3 months ago from now, my wife felt severe pain in her left arm joints after waking up in the morning.

this happened in a period of a big stress and strong emotional change for her, since she was worried about leaving her family and getting married and live in Amercia.

After, our marriage and our arrival in the states, she starts feeling pain again and again in the same arm (tricpes zone), than she starts feeling pain btoh ankles, both wrists, and middle finger gets swelling and painful.

We went to an allopathic doctor amd she suspected and autoimmune disease, after the labtest, RA was negative, but the ANA-titer was positive, which leads us to an autoimmune disease (ANA of 1 :320), also the white blood count was high (12.9) and the Hematocrit was low (35), this may be caused by the antibiotics metacycline taken for more than 5 years (one the side effects of that drug is to increase blood count.)

Also I have other lab test, wich i do not understand and they are SEG = high value= 76 and Lymph =low = value = 14.

We were refered to a rhuematologist and we are preparing ourself to accept the facts that she has an autoimmune disorder and she need to live with it.
I cannot tell you how this was shocking for us but especially my new bride, this event happened exactly 2 months after we got married and moved to the states.

I really ask anyone who can help us find a good remedy for her, first for the acne and for the arthrits, her doctor in the states asked her to stop immediatly taking her acne antibiotics and she was shocked to hear that she was taking that medecine all the time.

So I suspect, that she will get her acne again and her arthrits pain may get worst and only god knows what here psychological situation will be
