You need a new doctor, preferably outside that organization.

Ironically I had to deal with these quacks because last week my doc was on vacation.

Sorry to hear about these worries Aqua.

Before changing health care providers, be sure to consult with your health care provider.

Yes, it's time to change docs.

Probably because I'm having a Cynical Day, I advise you to tell the new guy about your current symptoms before telling about all the business with the Lyme and the doxy. No need to telegraph him into a groove before you have to.

It's like, the patient relates all the symptoms of malaria and then says, "Do you think I have malaria, doc?" And the doc says, "Why, yes, I do think you have malaria! Pay on the way out, please."

Thanks, Horace. Hangin' in there.

Been taking Dramamine for the loopiness. Seems to be helping somewhat?

Based on what I learned and what I went through I would not be concerned about long term issues. As I mentioned before it took me 3 weeks of being on the doxy before I felt any relief from absolute exhaustion. I really thought after 3 days of an antiobiotic I would be on the mend and I remember staring into my depleting bottle of Doxy thinking crap this is not working.

Regarding the COVID tests, remember that there is lot of concern regarding the at home tests since collecting the sample is a bit of a developed skill. It wouldn’t hurt to go to a drive through center…

I really, really don't think I have COVID. I feel completely fine other than the loopiness.

Well hell, that could be the Doxy causing that… Dizziness is a common side effect.

Started feeling this way 12 hours before I started taking it.
