I was encouraged to hear that you are clear. However I have not taken the doxy as one of the side effects is possible loss of color vision or vision altogether and I am an artist and designer and the thought of gambling with my vision is frightening and would cost me my job. Also I had taken just 10 days of Cipro several years ago and got severe diarrhea and could not eat anything without it going right through me. That lasted for a year and a half after the cipro. I had to get tested for c diff. I am reluctant to take those meds for that reason. Has your coughing stopped as well? I have bruised ribs from coughing so hard and am in pain now. Perhaps I should weigh one awful thing against another. I am more than a little discouraged.
