Just started Doxy(300 milligrams) and Levaquin today. Anybody have any good /bad reactions? Also, I know you shouldn't take dairy with Doxy , but anyone know if Goat's milk yogurt is okay? Thanks

About the doxy: It can be hard on the tummy so
It should always be taken with food and a full glass of water.
And also try not to lie for a couple of hours after. It can cause a reflux burn in your espohgus.

Lalyme, Welcome to this 24/7 LYME support group board! Read below about EYE sensitivity caused by doxy and how to get along ok.
Also, I have drank milk with my doxy for 2 years; never told not to. Good luck to you.
Here's TREEPATROL's and Tincup's combination newbie links.
Print off the links then check them off as you read as you could spend several months reading all of this.
print & read Dr. Burrascono's 2005 info first; you will come back to this often.
Extensive info in Treepatrol''s newbie links about the meaning of WESTERN BLOT IGM/IGG test results from Igenex! Be sure to read or print this info IF Igenex tested you ok!
Also, see Cheryl''s extensive web sites on: LD DIAGNOSIS, SYMPTOMS, & TREATMENT ... wonderful! Read the area on CO-INFECTIONS! You could have from 1-12 other illnesses that tick is carrying...lyme, malaria, etc.
If you are showing symptoms of co-infections, I would like to suggest being tested for co-infections when you have LYME western blots done. It isn''t cheap!! But if you are positive, you can treat the co-infections first, and then work on LYME symptoms.
mention you have lyme and marshall protocol, they will give you 20% off!
Also they have been kind enough to replace the SCRATCHED LENSES & BROKEN BOWS! How's that for service?
I don't drive often at night, but I can wear NOIR's 901 lenses at night while driving; it creates soft candle lights coming at me...tolerable. NOT to wear in town with all the action of people crossing where they shouldn't be, etc.
from LOU to Betty on LONG web links and Thank You Lou!: "If you hit the return key in the middle of a link, I don't think it will be clickable anymore. An alternative that maybe Betty should be telling people about is the tiny url website. I have it on my tool bar at the top of the page and use it for those incredablylongwebsiteaddresses.
All you have to do is ask tiny url to produce a short version, which it will do with a unique address, which you then use instead in your post. Works just the same when clicked! Here is the website, spread the word!
3-1-06, fyi, I tried dragging tinyurl to my toolbar without success, so that''s why I currently have LONG addresses vs. short tiny ones! I''ll keep trying.

I think goats milk is okay but I'm not 100% sure. Soy milk or rice milk is probably safer. Make sure you eat a full meal before you take your pills and dont lie down after you take Doxy. The sun sensitivity can be very hard to deal with so use protection high SPF and cover your skin. If you experience tingling of the skin, you know its the Doxy. You should be fine, just make sure you eat with your pills, it helps stop the nausea.
