This does help to clear up the infections.

This is what they finally treated me with. It was bad enough that the Lyme Disease made me puking sick....this med made it worse bc it was so strong but it did eventually help.

My LLMD started with 200mg of doxy 2x perday, which he said was a starting place with no guarantee. It works for me! I was on for 7 months,off for three, but experienced relapse. I now pulse by using doxy one week per month. My body seems to love doxy, and I feel really good. I herxed at first, but have experienced steady improvement. Excercise and a good diet are essential for me.

Doxycycline is a God-send. I take 100 mg once a day and it has calmed by rosacea down dramatically. I notice the days if I forget to take it and my face is much more irritated. It is that quick of a drug for it to react when not using it daily. No side effects whatsoever. If not on this, get it into your system ASAP.

I only have to take it for 2 weeks at a time but it does make me feel bad.

I believe it is working somewhat but I had a major setback a month ago because I went to sleep after taking two 500 mg. Doxy and burned my esophogus. What an idiot!! I have never known such pain. I take probiotics and they have saved me from the usual gastro problems I have taking antibiotics. till I pulled that stunt a month ago. Have recovered from that but have new symptoms and wondering if I have yeast problems. My LLMD is out of state 3 hours away
