Went to the Dr. today.
My GP he gave me this for headaches, I persuaded him to give me more Doxycyclene.
I have a ref. for a neuro, I tried to talk him into an infectous disease Dr. he said if my western Blot came back Pos. he would give me one.

I just feel thankful he gave me the Doxy for right now, because I am getting worse and worse.

How much doxy are you taking?

I would rather cut off my toes than see a neuro or an inf. disease dr for Lyme disease.

Forget it!

Find a real dr right away so you don't go chronic.

PS.. "worse and worse" probably means you are herxing.

Also .. don't hold your breath for the test to come back positive. The ELISA which is what is usually given has a 40% accuracy rate and known for its false NEGATIVES.

200 Mg a day.
I am hoping I will get enough relief from these to start researching LLMD's my mind is barely working, today was the first time I could drive in four days, this is after helping myself to my son's doxy he takes for acne for 2 days.

ooh don't take that stuff, it has caffeine in it which makes it much more difficult for antibiotics to reach deeper tissues in the body. My suggestion anyway. But I guess I'm acting like a republican cause I don't have any alternative ideas either, just don't take that stuff.

Thanks for the advice, I will be taking a minimal amount anyway as with everything I take for pain relief. I have a high pain tolerance and seldom take any over the counter drugs.

I was a huge soda drinker when I got this, for some reason I am unable to get even on down now.

I drink 2- 64 ounce jugs of water a day now.
