Dealing with Lyme Disease Treatment Side Effects

I'm taking some medicine to kill off the lyme bacteria that's been in my system for years. it makes me feel sick in the way that feels similar to a fever, but my temperature never gets over 99. I get frustrated because I have internal symptoms that don't show on the outside enough for me to even know what treatment I should try to get

This doesn't quite answer your question, but I was told by my specialist that with lyme sometimes your body temperature can sit a bit lower, so in my family if my temp gets to 98 we consider it a fever... could just be an experience specific to me, but maybe that helps!

I've also had Lyme in my system for years and just recently found out. I got put on doxycycline and it actually did give me fevers. It was terrible. I would also fell like I was going to throw up all the time. I understand the internal symptoms thing and I too am not sure what to do about it. I'm going to try some gut-health stuff next but we'll see. Hope you're journey through this turns out okay.

you should be careful with allergies/reactions to antibiotics. I'm allergic since I contracted lyme when I wasn't before.
