Resolved Question

Have you ever been bit by a tick and needed to take meds?

If so what kinds and how did you react to it? I found a tick on Wednesday morning and now have to take Doxy for 3 weeks-I'm sleepy and sick to my stomach all the time:(

I'm on the doxy myself right now. My doc did a lyme test, but the results won't be back for three weeks, so I'm taking the antibiotics as a preventative measure. I do have a rash at the bite site that still hasn't cleared up, though. It's pretty ugly. I'm finding the medicine is making me sick to my stomach, too, put only for about two hours after each dose. I've been taking probiotics with lunch, but I don't know if they're helping or not. Good luck!

I've been bit by ticks a couple of times. Fortunately, I didn't have to take meds though.
