I got a real kick out of this website. I'm having some heartburn from my Doxy so I was poking around to see if that's common (it is).

Anyway, on the right on this web page it lists common side effects of Doxy. Lyme is listed as a side effect!! Too funny. [Smile]

That is definitely funny in that context. I don't think it's a joke, but rather a poorly constructed website. Each thing listed under side effects is a link which takes you to another post containing the words "doxycycline" and the word under side effects.

It's just an error...but funny all the same. It also says that legs, sunscreen, and a glass of water are side effects of doxy. Very strange side effects if you ask me.

It must have been put together by someone without a good command of the English language...??

Man, when they say Borrelia burgdorferi is the most genetically complicated bacteria around, they aren't kidding!

That's too funny.

Gosh, I didn't realize my legs were also a side effect!!

I agree that it's just a poorly done website. They meant well but they could scare some poor soul taking Doxy for something other than Lyme that reads that list!

Glad you enjoyed! [Wink]

It also lists Doxycycline as a symptom of Doxycycline! [lol]

I had an awful experience taking Doxy. Sunscreen just started oozing out of my body. [Razz]
