Dabs,

I am so sorry to hear this. I was worried about you because not a peep out of

you in so long. I hope you are feeling a little better now. Did your doctor

say what he meant by " toxic " ??? Levels of Doxy too high or levels of all

drugs - the IV and Doxy mixing together or did he mean a bad herx ???? I had

a similiar reaction on Doxy after taking it just 4 days and It scared me to

death. My doctor took me off of it and said I was allergic. He wouldn't let

me take any meds for a few weeks after the reaction. It's interesting our

Lyme symptoms are so similiar and now we both have such a similiar/violent

reaction to Doxy. I honestly thought it was over and that I was dying when I

took it. In retrosepct, the reaction felt very much like a Herx but too

violent/severe of one. It was just too much for my system. My prayers are

with you.

Hang in there.

*Hugs*

TSS = Toxic Shock Syndrome?
