Motivation to take doxy properly? 😅
These were faded & taken maybe like a week or two after the bites to send to the DR. It's been something less than a month now. My friend who was with me in the field on the bench got a classic big fuck-off bullseye bite, even tho I've been doubting myself for it being too faint? One if I soften my eyes seems bullseyeish, the other few were expanding red blobs at my ankle. DR only had telephone appointments so they just took my word.
Got prescribed 3w of Doxy (dispersible, cant swallow tablets). I am disabled so been struggling to be consistent and didn't process label so took iron within 2h of it 2 days in a row.
Like since 2 days ago after taking it midday I got pretty uncoordinated/dizzy/brainfoggy/'loose' vision in a way that sucks for me as someone with already low iron & DCD (clumsy disease). I consistently feel very heavy and sway on my feet making me wanna lay down for safety all the time. Even after missing some doses it hasn't really changed.
It's also the heatwave and I took the last few reasonably temperatured days to go about my life but felt like I came back with a surprisingly quick/faint sunburn on the outside of my arms.
Myasthenia gravis runs in the family but I'm not diagnosed. I also usually have a numbness in my arms already (due to posture -> nerve stress they think) but the numbness + discordination is fucking me up.
Thankfully I have the blood test for it tomorrow but idk if I should still be taking in the meantime until I recieve the results.
I think I just got freaked out associating the taking with the symptoms, but figured maybe this is just Lyme symptoms? Help? Thank you & much love (If you have advice instructions it would be fantastic for them to be as literal/alien friendly/Autism friendly as possible lol)
(There's few times a week my brain can 'switch on' like this so I always feel very vulnerable in these kinds of situations. My professional carer quit for more hours. I've called the drs like thrice this week trying to explain and it feels like they're brushing me off. I feel quite foggy, upset, alone and scared.)
