So, the meds they've put me on are Levaquin, before they found the actual diagnoses, and now Doxycycline, and I'm currently taking both.

Does anyone know about the effectiveness of Doxy? So far it's made me feel worse, and much weaker. This morning I started falling down, and unless someone was holding on to me, I'd fall. So, my girlfriend and roommates stole my keys and told me to call the university and let them know to notify my teachers of any absences. So here I sit, feeling like I'm not on medication at all.

Anyway, all that to say, anyone have success with this drug? Stories? Advice? Anything? Thanks y'all.

the abx will make you herx, feel worse before feel better.... i know it sucks, and it gets very hard to tell yourself "it's a good thing I feel like crap" hang in there, we all have been there, do what you can to stay comfy
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

Thanks very much.

I guess what I hate is the fact that I'm so run-down and weak that I can't even make it to class, let alone walk from one part of the apartment to the other without falling down.
