Have a severe autoimmune condition. Tons of weird issues. But didn’t know it. Would occasionally take doxycycline. My issues would clear up for a few weeks. Mentioned this once to a doctor neuro-ophthalmologist). He grew interested and started asking about how dry my eyes and mouth were. I said they were fine. He insisted on testing. I failed. I was just used to them being dry Declared I had had Sjogrens. An autoimmune condition. That he had seen many people in his decades that doxy helped with Sjogrens. Later this was confirmed. Said I shouldn’t listen to any doctor that ignored the antibiotic link. Every single doctor I’ve talked to thought I was crazy for suggesting their was a relationship. I then discovered the Marshall plan which is super controversial. Basically that some auto immune‘s are caused by a very low level infection. Maybe in the mitochondria. Doctors mostly consider that a quack theory. I was tested for Lyme. (Negative) As symptoms are very similar. No idea. A course of doxy will give me about a month of feeling great. But doctors just say I’m lying. Would love to be able to figure a way to test the theory.
