Hi Huddie!-
Please look into finding a LLMD, LLND (Lyme Literate Natural path Doctor), or an herbal protocol ex.: Buhner's.
You said, "Right now I feel too tired to go but I am hoping a lot of that is from the medicine."
This is because you are killing of the Lyme bacteria. Are you taking or doing anything for detoxing?
You said, "When do you know if it worked?"
When you are symptom free! When I found out that I had Lyme, I was only taking Doxycycline. I thought that 1 maybe 2 months of Doxy and I would be cured. This was not the case for me. I had to find a LLMD.
When I started Doxy, I had severe chronic fatigue. I was in bed all day. I was so exhausted from doing nothing. I would have to debate in my head how bad I had to use the bathroom, because that meant that I would have to use my nonexistent energy to get out of bed.
There is a good possibility that you might also have co infections. A ticks saliva is very dirty because of all the other animals that it fed upon before biting you.
I only tested positive for Lyme disease. But through my treatment, I have also displayed symptoms of Babesia and Bartonella. So my LLMD is also treating me for these as well.
Once you run out of Doxy, a couple of things can happen. 1. You might feel a little bit better for awhile because you are no longer killing the Lyme bacteria. 2. You feel the same. 3. You get worse with your current symptoms and/or get new symptoms.
Please, Please, Please look into more treatment until you are symptom free!
Best Wishes!
