So I was bitten by a deer fly, had a rash, and then about
3 weeks later noticed some twitching in my face and later other parts of the body, mainly calves and feet. In retrospect, leading up to that, I did sort of feel a bit fatigued/weird/slightly dizzy once in a while. When the leg twitching started, that's when I began to feel a bit of fever/chills, as well as some leg weakness.
3 and 1/2 weeks after the bite, I started taking 200mg doxy, and after another 2 and 1/2 weeks it was upped to 300mg/day. Tested Igenex positive for Lyme about
a month ago. Babesia PCR came back negative.
It has been about
3 months now that I have been on doxy, and overall I feel pretty good, apart from the main symptom of twitching and a bit of insomnia. Going to try taking magnesium to see if that helps. Anything else I should be taking, and other tips?
Hopefully it was caught early enough that it might not be a problem.
Does anyone know how long the twitching could take to go away?
Also, I am under the care of LLMD Dr. C in Mt. Kisco. Let me know of any advice/opinions
Thanks
