Isn't doxycycline an antibiotic?

Been having a few back issues last few weeks, got up Saturday morning and bang prolapsed my l3 disk mad thing with this disc is it affects the right leg particularly the knee, so my knee is proper agony can’t get comfy and haven’t slept much in 4 knights, just been given this big bag of pain killers that I,m not much of a fan of, but I really want a nights sleep, so the question is if you were just going to take one or two before bed what one would you take just to get a nights kip, help I’m knackered

 

Mate, double dose the Diazis and codeine on an empty stomach and film it

Got a herniated disc, waiting on a discectomy/fusion in my neck, struggle sometimes to even take a t-shirt off, just in from fishing, (blanked) but when I do get a carp, it is hard work!. Limited to what I can take for pain, only got the 1 kidney so antinflammatories are out. Theyve give me amytripline but I darednt take that. Just took a bromazepam to chill me out to sleep & this one 500mg paracetomol with 25mg of opium. I try to go a few days off of taking anything, but get little sleep.

My mates plan was to retire to Florida, but life has a habit of not being a smooth road to travel down, he sold his house in the States, got a divorce, now lives the life of a water gyspy.

If I ever moved back to the U.K. this is the dwelling thats quite appealing. & maybe somewhere with better weather for winter. 

This rule, (90 days out of 180 or whatever it is) now that the Great Britain is out the E.U., I should think sucks for the folk who are retired. A lot of the British expats around my way (France) nip to Southern Spain for 2 or 3 months. I might get down there myself this winter for a few weeks have a little looky.
