Recent Tick Bite

Hi, I've been bitten by a tick 2 weeks ago. Probably for less than 24 hours, but was removed rather sloppily, it got squashed by the joke of a doctor who thought it's too small for a tick and that "only the big, chunky ones can make you sick"... For the the first week I had mild symptoms, mild headache (I never have headache), feeling a bit ill, chills, feverish feeling but no fever, strange grinding in the neck, pounding heartbeat, no rash only the bite has turned into a small red bump. Checked with doctor after 7 days, got Doxy 2x100 for 2 weeks. The symptoms above cleared after 2-3 days. Also started taking cat's claw as my herbalist says in horse doses 3x1500mg, no noticeable effects. Yesterday read about astragalus and gave it a try, interestingly when I got 1000mg of astragalus at once it makes me quite dizzy and my heart beat increases significantly, 500mg is more tolerable. Am I jumping the gun here? Should I ask for more Doxy, or it's ok to up astragalus to 3000mg and continue on it for 60 days and cat's claw and keep on it for a while? Also I read that sauna/hot yoga increase the effect of antibiotics, should I do it every day while on doxy?

Cheers,
Kiril

when you are on Doxy and it is killing the bacteria, it will create toxins in your body.

It is important to detox by taking Epsom salt baths, or foot baths, drinking lemon with water, dry brushing, and I have heard many use saunas.

Just be cautious because heat kills bacteria also. and the die off can cause more herxing.

I would go slow at first with the sauna to see how you respond.
