Is there anything non-prescription that works like Doxy?
Doxy is the only thing that reduced my neck pain in the past.
Now the pain is worse again but I didn't really want to start back on doxy since there is a shortage and it has become very expensive.
I am taking Prima Una de Gato (TOA Free Cat's Claw, Samento) and Japanese Knotweed...plus lots of other things.

That is a great question - wish I had an answer. Perhaps someone will...

Check out Stephen Buhners book on healing lyme. It most likely covers what he recommends for your joint pain.
Or go to his website and ask him directly... I think he does respond.

Thanks, gmb!
I have searched his site several times.
It seems he recommends Japanese Knotweed for neck pain, so I am taking that.
The pain feels like it is in my muscles more than joints.
I will check out his site again...thanks!

Just to share- there are still limited supplies of doxy for birds online and probably in local pet shops.
Disclaimer: Not suggesting or recommending- just sharing: But we've safely taken them in the past when no insurance and always keep a stock of it just in case because doxy is the only antibiotic that I am not allergic too.
this "shortage" of drugs that treat tick borne infections really seems suspicious to me...

Thanks daynise!
It sounds like bird doxy and fish doxy are probably the same.

Maybe they are shorting it so people will be forced to buy the more expensive monohydrate. Reminds me of how oil goes up for no good reason.
