Re: HELP - major relapse, need advice

Yes Yes YES!!! Jessie. dear girl, hurry to a true LLMD. Oh, tell us you went,

and that you listened, and let us hear your victory recovery. It will give all

of us great joy to have helped you.

But you should be seeing someone who sees patients with

these diseases everyday and knows how to properly diagnose and treat

them so that you don't end up in the hospital or like the rest of us

here haunting this list. Most LLMD's are likely to be reasonably

equipped to deal with other conditions, but other docs are NOT well

equipped to deal with lyme. In fact, they are usually grossly

MIS-informed, and the likelihood of misdiagnosis and or

undertreatment are high if dealing with tick bourne diseases.

Hi Guys,

Quick update - I am feeling a teensy bit better - at least the fever

is down after 4 days on DOXY.

I am having really bad stomach pain/nausea and tightness in my chest.

HAs anyone experienced this? Is it the DOXY or the Lyme??

I see the DR on Monday - I believe they want to do a CAT SCAN - she

thinks I may have swollen lymph nodes in my lungs.

After that I will ask to see a local LLMD who I hear is very good.

Thanks for all of the kind thoughts!!!

Jessie, 3 things on Doxy...yes, it does give upset stomach. I was feeling very

sick this AM. Secondly, and VERY important, the label form the pharmacy often

says to take with milk. Milk makes it easier to take yes, BUT it binds with

doxy, protein coating the meds. A woman recently was awarded $250,000 from Rite

Aid. She took the doxy, as told, and it diminished the effects greatly, and

helped her to become a long-term lyme disease sufferer. try to NOT take doxy

with proteins, meat, fish, milk, eggs, etc. A little bread, or crackers helps

soften the nauseous affect. Good luck sweetie. OH YES!! Watch out for the

sunshine, you probably read this on your labeling. It reacts with the sun, and

you can get a terrific burn easily.

i took 100mg twice a day of doxy for three weeks and had no

noticeable side effects.

no stomach problems. in fact i found the doxy extremely tolerable and it was

the first antibiotic i took in 22 years....

it actually knocked out a long standing infection (20 years or so) tho

not the lyme

so, i am no longer hesitant about stuff like doxy.
