[quote=Anonymous]Doxycycline is harsh. I took a 10 day course when I had Lyme disease. I was tested several times and never showed positive on a test. The tests catch less than 50% of cases. The rash was enough to confirm and RX antibiotics. The side effects from the antibiotics were so bad. I felt like I was going to vomit for weeks. Deer ticks carry Lyme. They are very small. When I scratched one off, it looked like a tiny scab on my leg. I didn't think anything of it. My doctor couldn't figure out what was causing the aches and a bunch of tingling and numbness. I went to see my old doctor, who's out of network. He suggested it could be Lyme. That's when I remembered the weird, almost heart-shaped red mark on my foot. It's tricky to catch. At least you know you were bitten and the approx size of the tick. [/quote]
