I am on doxy 100mg 2x/day for Lyme disease. I am an extremely active 34 year old male, 190lbs. It is my understanding that this is a somewhat conservative dosage, i.e. this is not an aggressive dosage.

Is there any way that doxy can be acting as an antidepressant, where it “cures” my imaginary symptoms of Lyme? This is what my neurologist suggested. My symptoms in the past include positive blood test, Bell’s palsy, dilated pupils etc. Doxy always cures my symptoms short term, but they always return.

I find it absurd that my neuro is suggesting I drop the antibiotic regimen and pursue a psychological approach, i.e. true antidepressant.

Time to find a new Doc?

The Hidden Secret

My whole life something has been wrong with my mother. And at first it was female problems like a hysterectomies etc etc. Which obviously she couldent help. But then whe I was about ten she took so many pain pills she got addicted and would pass out everywhere and stuff. Anyway after the stint of living in someones nasty basement with her drug habit I finally convinced her to move to Virginia where my aunt is. And for a few years everything was fine. But then it all changed again.. First her arm hurt, Then and I know this sounds completly out there I think she kinda faked bells palsy Iv seen pictures before and she dident look like that at all. She looked like she was doing it herself. But her doctors are to dumb to realize she knows how to play the game. And then after that its her foot it always something new wrong with her. I try to be supportive but on the inside I just want to push her down a flight of stairs lol Am I a bad person? could there really be something wrong? or does she just bug her doctors to the point where they just give her diagnosis she wants? I just dont know what to do for her anymore. And im being driven insane since for the past year she cant walk…apparently…please help!

Half my face is droopy….I am already short and bald…the only assett I had is my attractive face….and now it may be permanently damaged (I pray to God that it isn’t). I don’t want to be shallow but I can’t help it.

I just want to be able to smile and look at people normally…I am single, lonely, my heart hurts, and this just makes things harder….another strike against me.

Just before this happened, I had all kinds of things that were happening for me in regards to my business….now they all have to be put on hold, and may be lost.

I am angry, too. I feel like “WHY ME?”. 1 in 5000 chance of getting it. I swear, I feel like there is a higher power, put its main goal is to just fuck me over…I never get a damn break..and stuff just gets harder…feel like I am paying off Karmic debts or something, and I am just destined to suffer. But I do try hard to live right and at peace, but this type of bullshit happens.

Help me please

Angina and Diet

Last night, my left ear felt a little numb at the top. I went to bed, thinking nothing of it, but when I woke up this morning, it was worse – my entire left ear was numb, and a numbness moved into the left side of my face and down the left side of my neck.

I went to the ER, and they gave me Valtrex and Prednisone to treat Bell’s Palsy and Herpes Zoster (though an actual diagnosis was never made). I took my first dose, and the facial numbness is gone. I still have some numbness in my ear, and there’s now a tingling sensation in my fingers. What might this be?

Hi all,
i had Bells Palsy which is paralises on my right side of face about 13 years ago. and again when I was 16 which was 8 years before the second bout.There is still some signs of the palsy I can see.I think everyone else can notice too,if they do they don`t say anything.I hate getting my picture taken because first thing I think of is,do I look ugly?
I am so low about myself this way.I keep thinking too bad I wasn`t as cute as that girl,or that girl.
I honestly belive I only get guys who want to take advantage of me because of this ugliness.
Does anyone have any suggestions.
Thank you in advance to anyone who responds.

I came down with Bell’s Palsy last Friday. My face is completely distorted, and although most case recover completely there is a minor chance of permanent disfigurement..

Well anyway, I was just starting to get comfortable with women, like start to vibe with them. I felt comfortable about where I was getting, and felt that I could attract them. Now I feel like a hideous monster who ducks and hides when I see one…

I feel pain every time I see a beautiful woman…like I will never be able to attract one again.. I know this is a complicated question, but please help

I had Bells Palsy 5 years ago and I think I’m addicted to the medicine they gave me to treat it.

Before I had the medicine I was always worrying about things I couldn’t control and I ‘d break out into uncontrollable sweats .
With the medicine I felt very numb but I didn’t worry as much and I was actually doing better in school.

I told my mother about it and she just laughed and said ” You were high”.

Even though its been 5 years since I’ve took those pills I still feel like I’d be better with them. I actually miss taking them. Sometimes I wish I could get the pills back.

A few months ago I was using tylenol p.m to help me get to sleep. I didn’t need the Tylenol I just needed a way to get to sleep.

I’m also a depressive and part of me is afraid that if I’m put on anti-depressants I’ll become addicted to them. But the other part of me feels like I need to be on anti- depressants.

My life is so damn unfair:

I’m short, bald, small feet, small hands, job I don’t like, no girlfriend, premature ejaculator, and now I have Bell’s Palsy, have my face is paralyzed….who the hell was out to get me?

I think it would just be easier if it was all over
