Comments for this study:

Sam (12 months ago):

Many tick bites in NC last month,-- eight(8) plus. Dr. there said to take Doxycyline 100 for 10 days if any suspect symptoms developed.

I am now back home in Thailand and lower back and butt muscle pain and stiffness has come on strongly.

I took my second Doxy pill a few hours ago and my penis is starting to become swollen with red inflammation.

I took an Aleve two hours ago, to fight the inflammation, until I find out what I should do?

Should I continue the doxycycline, but with an anti-inflammatory?

What anti-inflammatory should I take, when and how much?

Is there an effective substitute to the doxycycline that I can switch to?
I am a 73 and male

• From this study (3 weeks ago):

After taking doxycycline for 2 days, I notice sensitivity to my penis head, and also my ureatha felt funny. I stopped taking it for 2-3 days...the ureatha felt better and the itching stopped, yet the sensitivity was still present, but not as bad. So I am now taking it again, and have noticed that the ureatha is starting to feel funny again...and now I have scaling on my head (I imagine from the healing). Yet it's still a lil sensitive.

I have had no reaction to bee stings prior to being prescribed warfarin but one sting on the hand has left me with swelling at the site and tracking up my arm. Is there any data on bee venom and warfarin inter-reacting?
