flue like symptoms fever sneezing,bronchitis and recurrence of sinus infection it was suppose to be treating. was being treated for sinus infection with this and now the side effects are more serious than the infection which was slowly improving with older generic antibiotics. it is bad enough to pay over a hundred dollars per bottle for a drug that does not work but one that makes you extremely ill is a crime. dr. is washing hands of this matter when confronted with side effects and said he had never heard of this but it is in the drug encloseure literature which i showed him but am now on my own to deal with this. he wants me to go for a round of tests for something that seems to be a well known series of side effects caused by the drug. am now worried about gettin g pheumonia....am going back to my generic antiobiotics,slower but truer.

just returned from a miserable week in the virgin islands. am taking 200 mg doxy twice/day. had spf 45 on as well as floppy hat, long sleeves and pants.....i lasted two days with limited exposure to the sun. my hands and lower half of my face were (are) so sunburned that my slkin felt like it was on fire. exposure to water (i.e. washing hands) felt like ice. i suspect that the sunburn on my hands resulted from only 30 minutes of driving (hands on wheel). bottom line is that even spf 45 won't protect you from the "reaction". i say that because my hands are now back to normal (7 days later) but didn't peel or blister like a normal sunburn. leads me to believe its more a reaction to the sun's radiation. face is still nightmarishly red. lips bleeding and raw......
