Lyme disease early stage

2017-06-27 19:12:03
I have an early lyme disease, I did blood work igm was 10,1 igg was below 5, after a week (rash was already gone) my doctor put me on doxycycline for 2 weeks 100 g twice a day. I was using it right after eating, which I now learnt was less effective, than if used on empty stomach, do I need to use other antibiotics to completly clear infection?
