Doxycycline side effects mimic ARS

For those on Doxy, it can give side effects that mimic ARS.  Just thought I would pass that on to folks.

I think antibiotics cause fungal infections.
They do look just like ARS

I recently got off of doxy. The half life is 18-30 hours, so this means it will take 4-5 days to get totally out of my system. The pain is gone, the head aches are gone, the fatigue has subsided a little.  But overall I still have somewhat of a flu like feeling througout the body.

Sucks, because ofcourse it makes me doubt things.

Thank you for your post... I needed that, big time.

I have had exactly the same feeling whilst on doxy.  I completed my course 3 days ago and I have only been feeling myself again in the last 24 hours.  The last week has been living hell for me, I had convinved myself I was having ARS symptoms and I will have a 3 month test to confirm, I did test negative after 2.5 weeks but I know this is not an indication of anything! Anyway I just hope and pray that the feeling I was having whilst on the doxy was the side effects of them.  I had extreme fatigue, tiredness, some body aches, white tongue(99,9% sure that was the antibiotics) however no fever.  Anyway I have been told that these symptoms are all side effects but they are also symptoms fo ARS and 10's of other illnesses.  However glad to see some of you have been feeling the same way when taking doxy.
