A couple of days ago I got bit by the female lone star tick. A small rash ensued around the bite and started doxycycline around the 72 hour mark. 100mg twice per day. They did take a blood test but the tests are so inaccurate that I wonder about the validity of them. I haven't gotten the results. The fact that there is a slow healing rash means I did contract some type of borrelial infection. So any advice on what to do?
From what I've read 100 mg X 2 per day doesn't sound like its enough. My nausea is hardly noticeable now, I could tolerate a higher dose. I'm 9 days into the 2 week dose.
Is there a website that people order doxycycline from in the states? I guess the best thing to do would be increase the dose of doxycyline for another 6-8 weeks on a higher dose and finish up with possibly amoxicillin or another antibiotic. I'm a little disappointed honestly. Knowing that the antibiotics will kill almost all of them but still a minute percentage of the spirochete should survive discourages me.
I am under alot of stress right now and I read that can decrease the effectiveness of the antibiotics. Should I be taking it easy? Also, my intestinal health is another issue. Has anyone heard of undecenoic acid and candidase interferring with the antibiotic as well as monolaurin?
Thank You.
