Things that are fun about chronic Lyme coming out of remission (whee):
Dropping a container of cut broccoli all over, splosh
Hot sweats while crying and running a 102.5 F fever, suddenly
Racing heart? Nausea?
It's ok. My doc has a plan. 😬😭
I hate Doxycyline.
And am grateful for it.

Doxycyline increases sensitivity to sunburn so extra SPF if you're on them and extra caution about prolonged sun exposure is standard pharmacist counseling on doxycycline.

every time I review antibiotics I wonder if we should use more doxycycline for severe CAP in the ICU (instead of azithro)
I'm going to put my nickel down.
I think there is a pretty reasonable argument that we should be choosing doxycyline over azithromycin
let's go thru it... (#1/6)

Fingers crossed they do the trick without side effects.
(Is clinda the one needing liver labs? It & doxycyline penetrate bone well 👍🏼
Lemme know if you need me to fire up the old “annoy the vet” pharmacist question- “have you thought about linezolid” 😂

Pepper's doing better day by day, post dental surgery. Seems to be in much less pain, and is very affectionate and sweet. She HATES the Doxycyline dose every evening! (It smells like wet cardboard.)
Kevin's arm cyst is reaching peak mass. I'm so happy for the appointment on Friday to get rid of it!

Third workout completed. About 15-20 min of warm up, 12 minute climb. I took fewer rests which is great, and I was able to go a little longer than before.
3 workouts since Tuesday isn't bad.
Now to shower, cocentyx, and have breakfast and a later than usual doxycyline.

I've seen longer treatment courses and higher concentrations for doxy wrt Anaplasma treatment (e.g. doxycyline 10 mg/kg BID PO for 28d). What are the current guidelines about treatment course (or is there some disagreement)?

Ask your doctor about doxycycline as PrEP or as PEP for bacterial STIs including syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia! In the US acceptance is spotty. Canada is conducting a study to decide standard of care; info at www.godisco.ca!

Day 1 post wisdom teeth removal: Slept pretty well and thankfully have no pain since I got all four of them removed. Took my morning Ibuprofen, Doxycyline and mouth rinse. I'll do the same thing tonight when I go to sleep. Got at least another 4 days.

After almost three years of dealing with it, the only thing that has every helped was doxycyline. My derm gives me a running Rx for two week cycles. It's an bummer because doxy is not my tummy's friend, but I start clearing up within 72 hours when I take it.

What the fuck reason could an insurance company have for covering doxycyline hyclate but not monohydrate? What possible fucking reason?
Because I just saw it happen.

Shih & Spielman, 1993, found borrelia transmission can be <24 hrs if a tick has already fed on another host. We don't know how often this occurs.
Doxycyline administered within 24 hours of a tick bite reduces risk of transmission, suggesting substantial transmission occurs in this timeframe.

Thanks for this!
-Doxycyline administered within 24hr of a tick bite reduces risk of transmission, suggesting transmission can occur in this timeframe.
-Partially fed ticks speed transmission. How often do these bite?
More research was necessary before clinical trials for the pill as prophylaxis.

Some clinics have started using a “morning-after” pill to help prevent chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhea, as sexually transmitted infections in the U.S. continue to climb. Here’s what to know about doxycycline, called DoxyPEP, and how to use it.

From #SAEMPulse: "Due to rising resistance to azithromycin, doxycyline has become a more common treatment option for community-acquired pneumonia, with good oral bioavailability and lung penetration, making it a viable alternative."
