Hi Ellie. 200 mg of Doxy is not strong enough for Lyme. I believe the recommended dose is 300-600 mg daily.

If you were infected in July, your infection is relatively early. This is good. Early infections are the easiest to cure. Getting the proper treatment early in the infection may reduce the chance of long-term complications. I highly recommend seeing a Lyme doctor as soon as possible.

There are not many Lyme doctors in the country. Many people have to travel out of state to see one. The ones I know of in CA are located in San Francisco, Nevada City, Palo Alto, Malibu, or Long Beach. If you would like their names, you can send me a private message or email me.

Maybe a family member or friend could drive you if your SO cannot. It really is important to see a knowledgeable doctor.
