Hey,

So, my doctor has prescribed me 3 weeks of Doxycycline at 100mg a day for suspected Lyme after having 2x positive IgM tests.

My symptoms before starting the treatment were allodynia, burning skin and paresthesia but on the 2nd night after taking Doxy i woke up with my left hand totally numb, which is worrying as this is totally new for me.

I trust my doctor but he is not an LLMD and so im looking for anyone who has any further info/ experience with this. My gut instinct is to stick with the full course of antibiotics, as ive read this is probably just the Herxheimer reaction occurring but im just concerned to go into this blindly as i have read from other people who had this reaction from Doxy and then they never fully recover...

Thanks
