Lyme Disease
"3 days maybe, with a  tick in my left side under my arm, upper rib cage? Got it out, whole, sent it to a lab, it came back positive for lyme and negative  for  co infections. On 3rd day when I found it, urgent care doctor gave a two time prophylactic dose of doxy and sent me on my way. Maybe that was good enough, but I was outside the 72 hr first dose window, &amp; lyme is something I just do NOT want to fight with. I don&#039;t get flu shots, don&#039;t take my baby aspirin, don&#039;t take my multivitamins, etc, etc...but I also don&#039;t get sick. But this? I know people that have been seriously screwed by this so I went to my doc and got the 100mg 2x day script for 14 days. I THINK I&#039;ll be okay, I&#039;m generally sturdy. But at 50yrs old I&#039;m playing it safe. 1 probiotic midday, no probs."
