I should have mentioned.... since you're taking doxy you should also be taking probiotics, and particularly a yeast probiotic. The only one that I can name is saccharomyces boulardii ( or sacro-boulardi, pronounce sac-ro-boy-ar-dee). This will prevent the doxy from roaching your digestive system. It just needs to be taken several hours apart from the med so they're not fighting each other. I don't know why docs don't routinely prescribe probiotics when giving antibiotics to their patients. It's just so dumb when the side effects are totally avoidable! Meanwhile, lasagne was adventurous. I'd stick with veggies and light soups for a bit.
I do hope this nasty med is worth it for you and beats the snot out of the tick-borne nasties! I've had Lyme 6 years and it's managed okay - still have flares. I think you're so early in the diagnosis with your treatment you'll avoid being a "lifer" like me! Good luck. And Happy Birthday! And ditto on the lesson on aging: as I've said - too soon old, too late smart!

You do satisfy my sweet tooth, if only vicariously, with your fantastic pix. Thanks!

@Reen
How goes it? Thinking of you! Feel better.
