"Taking doxy for anaplasmosis (closely related to ehrlichiosis, but not on the list). Was in bed with 102-103 fever for three days barely able to walk or eat. Felt 70% better after the first dose of doxy. With the second dose, fever was completely gone. It was the first time I was sick enough to really appreciate the magic of antibiotics -- to go from being barely alive to almost back to normal within a matter of hours. I am still recovering and feel a little off, so I can't tell whether it's the remnants of anaplasmosis or side-effects of antibiotics, but even if these are the side-effect, it's a very small price to pay."

"Day 2 and feeling ok....I have to take with food or else I'm very sick to my stomach. It's giving me bad headaches but better then how sick I was 24 hours ago."

"I'm just on day 2 of a 10 day script and seems to work. The fever i fought for 5 days is gone. However, it feels like needles poking me all over my body. Also i wish i had known before not to lay down for at least 30 minutes after taking. I had THE WORST reflux pain I'd had in 3 years last night. Also some chest discomfort. All after 2 doses. Happy it's working on the infection causing the fever but alot of discomfort. Jury is still out, hopefully the side effects are short lived."
