Many a tick has bitten me in my life, fortunately without consequences. Last week another little bugger bit me in the flank and I removed it about 36 hours later due to not earlier noticing. The bit seemed harmless enough, though it did ich a bit. Worried me initially, because tickbites don't usualy itch but 2 days later the site of the bite seemed ok. 6 days later though the site inflamed again with a circel with a radius a little under 1cm.
I started a Doxycycline treatment yesterday for Lyme-disease prevention/mitigation. 20 days of 200mg, whic is a rather high but standard dose for lyme.
I used Minoxicycline and Amoxicycline before in my life without issues. Now Doxy gives me rather heavy nausea about 20 minuets after ingestion on empty stomach.
Please if somebody could chime in hre with some advice or experience:
1.) How is nausea caused by Doxy? Does it attack the gastric mucosa or intestinial mucosa? Or is this already an indication of Endotoxin-flush / Herxheimer reaction.
2.) How to best assist a course of 20 days of Doxy?
Raw carrot to mitigate endotoxins advisable? Glycine to protect the mucosas?
3.) Vitamin K producing bacteria will be affected. Supplement it?
4.) How to prevent fungus and harmful bacteria overgrowth during and afterwards? I normally try to keep the gut in order with Coconut oil, vinegar and some herbal teas. Is this advisable during a course of antibiotics or shall I abstain from it for a time afterwards to allow the gut bacteria to regenerate?
5.) Are any of the gut-friendly B-vitmamins (1,2, Biotin) indicated during or afterwards?
6.) Any other tips, supplemetns, foods or otherwise?
Thanks a lot!
