Hi everyone,
I've been on doxy 100 mg 2x/day for over a year. My symptoms are mostly joint and muscle related, with fatigue and brain fog, too. To answer the OP's question: I've had no problems. Sometimes it hurts my stomach to take it, but i Ijust take some tums or eat something and I'm fine. No complaints really.
I also have some questions of my own, but here's some more background info first:
When I first started taking it, I was back to probably 80% functioning, so long as I avoided staircases, heavy lifting, etc. Then I lost access to it for 5 weeks. Since getting back on it, it never has had the same effect. It helps, for sure, but nothing like it originally did.
I need to find a doctor willing to prescribe it for CFS, ASAP - I only have a month's supply left and my doc doesn't want to prescribe more (that's another story, she thinks I still need it but doesn't want to prescribe it).
I'm wondering something:
How do you find GPs willing to work with a specialist and trust their expertise, because there are NO specialists nearby and I don't even know who prescribes doxy for CFS besides my previous doctor, and I can't pay out of pocket anyway.
I know this was incredibly long, but I don't know what information is legit and what's not. Like what sources of information do you trust, and how do I get docs to prescribe me the meds that have been allowing me to function and pay my bills? Links to your sources would me much appreciated.
Thanks for reading!
