I just had a huge coughing fit about an hour and a half into my two hour infusion of 200mg of Doxy…the coughing fit hit so hard, I actually vomited outside of the Denny’s. It was productive a couple times as well.

My right lung still hurts a lot…I’m not totally sure, but I think the coughing fits during the Doxy dose is a sign that the doxy is doing something in my lung..

I haven’t taken my Flagyl yet today (oops), so that could be making things worse as well.

Earlier this week, I missed a few doses of the IV doxy, and I started to feel really crappy again…my blood pressure in my right arm was down to 84/47, but my left arm was higher, at 95/60. I was feeling it too. I knew something was wrong.

Now back on the IV doxy, my blood pressure has been back in the normal range, but I’m still struggling with this right rib cage pain…

I think I need to do a better job of being diligent about taking my medications. I can’t afford to develop any kind of resistance…

This has been the worse infection I’ve had…ever.
