"Having contracted Lyme disease, I was given a 2-week regimen of Doxycycline, only a day before I traveled to Cyprus on vacation. Being told by my physician that I should be careful with sunning, I stayed inside during the day, coming out in the evening. However, the heat alone made me, within two days, break out with large, but not painful blisters on my hands, fingers, and toes. Sandals were then used as I could not get into my shoes. Calling my doctor, I was told to stop the treatment immediately, which I did. It took me three weeks to get rid of the blisters, but obviously, I cannot rate the effectiveness of the medicine as I cut the use of the pills within the first week."

"Medicine was effective to a degree it ameliorated muscle pain, joint inflammation, and mild-to-severe headaches. Inflammation/rash in upper body area (predominantly on the back) occurred within a week of beginning three-week regimen-persisted until end of ingestion, though it faded in both discoloration and swelling, as well as itching, over time. Some blurred vision and intestinal discomfort occurred, but was not debilitating to any significant degree. While fatigue was lessened somewhat, it did not preclude a general feeling of somnambulism or sleepiness, which my physician says may persist for a few weeks or even months. Overall, I’d rate this as an effective medication against the Lyme Disease I developed."
