Almost Over

There’s still a tiny bump where the tick bit me. Otherwise the bite has healed and all traces of the burgeoning bull’s-eye rash have disappeared. I have two more doses of Doxycyline left, and I will be so happy to be done with it, because it’s really hard to take. The instructions say to take it with a whole glass of water and that it may be taken with food, and what I’ve found is that I’d damned well better drink that water and eat something or I will want to die a short while later from the screaming headache and nausea. If I take it with food and drink, the ensuing nausea and headache are at least tolerable. It hasn’t been pleasant couple of weeks, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just those last two doses, then (fingers crossed) this little nightmare will be over.
