So keep on the Kefir.
Doxy is also an anti-inflammatory and is used to treat non-infective prostatitis, and some forms of arthritis, acne, carpal tunnel and various other rheumatic issues.
With time, Doxy will disrupt and affect many vitamin nutrient profiles. Short term, less so. B-complex, Vit K, iron, biotin, calcium, magnesium and inositol. It may be early days for you yet about this aspect.
Igenex is the most thorough lab for Lyme.
you might want to look into the testing there:

I strongly suggest doing the "Igenex" Western Blot to test for Lyme. Also, the newest player on the block is "Advance Dignostics" located at:
www.advanced-lab.com/
who have developed a very-effective Lyme culture test (this is a breakthrough in Lyme testing vs. older and often inaccurate antibody tests). I strongly recommend doing this test as well, and please post your test results here!!
The fact that the very insensitive ELISA test was actually positive for Lyme means you almost certainly have it (along with all your classic Lyme symptoms).
If you do have Lyme (and I would bet money that it is a player) then you need to find a "Lyme-literate" physician ASAP (go to the ILADS website).
Hope you feel better!
