Great news! I've also apparently tested positive for not only Lyme, but a second tick Bourne illness that attacks red blood cells similar to Mslaris called Babesiosis. 
 

now I'm on 3 different antibiotics. Wild. Had to actually meet up with an infectious disease specialist. No it wasn't Fauci. 

I'm sorry to hear that man. I hope the meds can get you back on track. Wow. Have you been hiking or anywhere in the woods in the recent past.

Ah man. Thats terrible. Stay strong.

 

Do lots of probiotics. Huge amounts of vitamin D3, B12, Zinc and magnesium.  Eliminate dairy for a while and figure out if red meat makes you feel worse as that could mean you are developing some other allergy from the tick bite. 

 

This is just advice my sister in law (they live over by you, in Mount Sinai) passed on to me, for advice when a coworker of mine had a relapse last year. 

 

Good luck man.

Thanks. No alpha Gal thankfully. That's a different tick. Lone star I believe. You are absolutely right about the dairy. Can't have it within 2-3+hours before or after the doxycycline as it would affect the absorption. Probiotics for sure. 
 

Tons of deer here in the village and Mt Sinai for sure.

That sucks @Keirik, hopefully you're feeling better soon.
