Get the blood sugar thing checked but also bing up the issues that the nugs are know to mess up your MG levels - Low MG levels can mess with your pancreus functions - I have had some sugar issues and I think it is directly realted to the bugs messing up things -

A simple blood tests is all that is needed. Just a finger prick really. But the more extensive test requires that you eat a syrup like substance and have a regular blood test taken.

On my third day of Omnicef in March, in addition to swollen, painful knees, fever, an awful headache, I was also pee'ing about every 1/2 hour and craving huge quantities of liquid. The next day I started feeling quite well; better than I did in a few months.
Did I mention that those symptoms were happening while I was on the bus from NYC to Boston? Fun stuff.
My blood sugar levels are totally normal in case y'all were wondering.

Hi SAK How long you been on doxi? Drinking extria water is a good thing .
Maybe your body wants to flush out toxic stuff--may be nothing to worry about.
I have been on doxi a long time-- it is strong and works-- I have not had much bad side effect Except--For me if I have any type of Citrus-even small amounts-- It makes me Super sun sencitive--
Do a google on- Photo Toxic- Look for the pictures-- will freek you out--
The reaction can happen Fast-hours- after eating citrus--so be careful-- I think citrus also makes doxi not as effective--
I wrote a post called -Doxi and Citrus equals Pain- you should read-- Hope this helps--Jay--

You can buy urine test strips for glucose at a drugstore and also a blood sugar test kit, at least here in the USA we are allowed to do that without a doctor's script.
I think it could be a lyme/herx thing so don't get too worried. But check your sugar level.
If you're going to have a blood sugar done, ask for the A1C...the 3 month blood sugar test.
I was dx 6 months w/type 2 diabetes using the A1C test before my correct dx of chronic lyme. So I've been having a heck of a time trying to keep blood sugar under control & make any headway with my undx lyme of 34 years prior!
I've always drank alot of water, peed alot, and constant diarrehea thing. They are called irritable bowel & bladder syndrome.
My meds dry me out due to side effects.
I drink 4+, 32 oz. jugs of water a day.

Just a warning - some antibiotics can cause false positive urine sugar results with some strips. I think penicillins and cephalosporins mostly have that problem, not sure about doxy.
Still, it's better to test _blood_ sugar or get an A1C test done so you don't scare yourself unnecessarily.
