Hello,
This is a question for myself- please let me know if it isn't the place to ask this.
I had chronic lyme for many years and have been mostly in remission for the past several years. I had several years of severe dysbiosis from antibiotics which I solved with a microbiome transplant this past fall and have been in a pretty good place since then.
I was recently bit by a tick on the 4th of July (attached for ~10-30 minutes on my ankle). I unfortunately lost the tick so I don't think I can test it. I'm feeling some symptoms of inflammation which could be many things but I'm worried it's Lyme and friends. I'm wondering if you have thoughts on the cost/benefit analysis of taking doxy v herbs (such as Spirolyd compound) at this time. I am worried about causing dysbiosis with antibiotics but I also don't want to have chronic Lyme again. I appreciate you taking the time to read.
Best,
Brendan
