I have a history of Ehrlichiosis, which took months to diagnose and left me with unresolved issues. I get these attacks that resemble seizures, with an elevated heart rate but were confirmed by EEG as not seizure activity—though one neurologist mentioned they can be difficult to capture.

In 2022 is when I got these long COVID symptoms and it worsened my "seizures" to a daily occurrence. I felt like I was on the brink of paralysis, waking up each morning with temporary muscle paralysis .

I started Doxy and it was a decision I made without knowing why, but it brought me relief. It took weeks and months for it to revive me, with intermittent flare-ups. Whenever I stopped taking it, my symptoms return. Doxy is known to modulate the immune system and act as an antiviral for COVID. I take it with food and find it effective, noticing issues only when I eat poorly, like consuming too much sugar or fried foods.

The anxiety of falling ill without adequate medical support, especially in hospitals, has made me somewhat bitter. The lack of help despite intense pain has left me feeling lost. I recognize that some physicians genuinely want to assist, but are limited by healthcare structures heavily influenced by insurance companies and financial ties with hospitals, creating an unfair system.

Thanks for letting me rant!
