Headaches on Doxycycline normal?

Headaches on Doxy and off Doxy are normal. What are you de-toxing with?

I didn't know enough to detox when I was on Doxy almost 2 years ago and I was sure I was dying and wouldn't make it to the end of the year.

It's a very crucial part of getting through these treatments, and seriously something we can/should still do a little of after we've healed.

Consider ammonia build up or possible Lymph nodes clogged.

What are you doing to help your body rid it'self of toxins?

You LLMD may not respond with de-toxing help. Its not a medically widespread practice, even with LLMD's.

But that link I posted has some really easy and manageable methods.

Another thing to consider when evaluating what the headaches are from, is the strong possibility of yeast/fungus overgrowth, particularly since you are on abx that kill all your good bacteria and have nothing to keep the yeast in your system under control.

That's another important issue covered in our New to Lyme intro, down the 2nd page a ways. Check it out.

Thanks. I should clarify that my "LLMD" is an ND; I used that term because she is a highly literate Lyme doctor and educator.

I'm on Nystatin for the fungus and taking Florastor and some herbal stuff. I'll check out the page you mentioned. Thanks.

I started doxy last week and have had a mild headache most of the time, and sometimes a sharp headache in back of head. I think one is side effect and one is lyme. I take alleve if pain is too bad so I can keep going with antibiotic. I add in my second drug in a couple days so will have to see if that changes anything.

I detox with dry brushing, epsom baths and lemon water. Also acupuncture and massage. I've also been taking the doxy with my smoothie because of some mild stomach pain.
