I have been taking Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for about 10 days now. It has for some reason effected my joints. It started in my knees and seems to be moving to other joints like my wrist. I did see other posting with the same problems, but not a lot. I also had one day of being a little light headed early on but it didn't last more that a few hours. I do a lot of sports, so having knees that hurt and I have trouble using sucks! I am done taking the drug and hope to see improvement shortly, but really have no idea how long before my knees may feel normal.

I am having the exact same thing. I don't know if it's Lyme's or the doxy, but a week after taking the Doxy, all of my fingers swelled up in a matter of minutes and became very painful..I can't even open bottles, etc. Then my knees, wrists, shoulder, hip, swollen feet, stiff neck....I am at a loss but it's so painful, I can barely move at times....the dr. said it's Reactive Arthritis from an infection, but I just don't know.
