@lidiaboglarka- Welcome back Lidia! It's so good to hear that you are finally feeling relief. I have a tough time with doxycycline if I don't eat first. Have you had that problem? You were having relief also with breathing exercises. Are you still doing them?

Thanks, Merry! I also had a similar, very unpleasant experience with another type of antibiotics, so I'm only taking doxycycline with food. Otherwise, I'm sure it'd upset my stomach. Oh, and of course, probiotics - these are magical.

Well, I'm still aware of my breathing and do control it, but I'm not paying special attention. Sport is a miracle when it comes to breathing, cycling really helps me to regulate it. But I'm not doing anything else other than that. Everything I tried before is now a habit.

Probably breathing exercises and sport also helped me to use my lungs' capacity better, also reducing stress, which helped my immune system to fight against the infection. So I felt better, won some fights, but never truly won the battle.

I know that there's still a long way to recovery, but now I'm patient, and for the first time, I feel that my doctor knows what he's doing.
