I need some advice... Help!

Hi baileygirl76.  How long do you think you were infected before getting diagnosed?

From what I understand, 200 mg of Doxy daily is not in the treatment range for Lyme nor is one dose of 200 mg.  400 mg of Doxy is in the treatment range.  You have been on the proper dose for seven weeks now.  Since your first month of treatment was not aggressive enough, I don't think it would be good to stop antibiotics yet.  Early infections are the easiest to cure.  Once time has passed, you cannot go back.  It is my understanding that an infection caught within two weeks of the bite should be treated with a minimum of six weeks of the proper dose antibiotic.  It sounds like your infection was longer than that and you did not receive proper treatment initially.

Skin crawling senstations can be a symptom of Lyme disease.  Are Lyme specific bands positive on your Western Blot results?  I highly recommend getting tested through IgeneX after you have had futher treatment.  They use more sensitive testing and list more Lyme specific bands on the Western Blot.  You can submit the bill to your insurance company for reimbursement.  Some pay more than others.  You could call your company and see how much they would cover.  You should also be tested for all the co-infections ticks can transmit.  I know it is not inexpensive, but getting proper testing and treatment as early as possible will save money in the long run.

It sounds like you are responding well to treatment which is good.  I am sure you cannot wait to get off meds, but you need to make sure you have erradicated the infection.  Getting proper treatment early in the infection may reduce the chance of long-term complications.  I highly recommend that you reseach this so you can make the best choice.
