"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 effects, it's a very small price to pay."

"Day 2 and feeling okay... I have to take it with food, or else I'm very sick to my stomach. It's giving me bad headaches but better than 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 a lot of discomfort. Jury is still out, hopefully the side effects are short-lived."
