I have been on Doxycycline for 6 days now. Feel much better after doc change my medicine to doxy.I was laying in bed for all that time with high fever, even when i felt better i kept resting. Drink a lots lots of water or other drinks to stay very hydrate. That is very important to drink all the time. It helps with breathing also. I still have problems with breathing what helps-is to keep your head higher then the rest body. If you laying down and feel pain sit and cover so you stay warm and still can breath. To get through this disease you guys have to be patient and don't move to much. Sometimes it takes 5-7 weeks to get some energy.
