Hi Bill+1, I saw your profile and my life was paralleling your present condition plus heart problems and arthritis a couple of years ago. I gave up on curing lyme after five years and went for containment. I started taking 100mg doxycycline hyclate delayed-release tablets, one per day, a big step down from mega abx dose I had been on. Imperceptivitly, (if I spelled that right?), All of my problems have cleared. Arthritis and heart problems clearing totally amazed me. If I stop the doxy, imperceptivitly, (there's that word again!), all symptoms return. My knees were so bad I had to slowly ``ratchet'' myself up the stairs of my home. We installed an elevator thinking this was as good as it was gonna get but started the doxy, so far has given me back my life!
I run a 300ac hobby farm on weekends and indoor and outdoor aquaponic gardens through the week. Life is good as long as I take the doxy! I hope this will help you in some way, good luck! -LR
