Maybe try salt/c along with some herbal antiparasitics?? If you haven't seen visible parasites on antiparasitics, sometimes salt/c will push them out of their comfort zone. Worth a shot if you're still so symptomatic.

How is the CSM treating you -- is that taking the edge of the herxing/new symptoms? Hope so. I am TOTALLY with you as far as losing real living. This is insane, really.

Just reading through some of this again, I don't think insomnia is a symptom of babesia. Protomyxzoa is very similar to babesia except it causes insomnia.
Someone else said they had allergies from babesia. Again protomyxzoa causes nasal congestion.
Even I complained about getting a hoarse voice and dry cough in this thread. That can be protomyxzoa which I found out later I had.
As for night sweat, babesia duncani does not cause bad night sweats - babesia microti causes the drenching sweats. I did get a lot of hot flashes from duncani though.
I believe many people continue to treat babesia and do not get better because they have protomyxzoa, maybe together with the babesia at first, but later alone. The anti-malarial drugs require huge amounts of fat which stimulate the growth of protomyxzoa so the person gets worse and worse.

I didn't get the chills and fever, only a bullseye rash and bells palsy at first. My severe symptoms took six years later to bare their teeth.
Then it was hell on earth; pain and severe fatigue that put me in a alternative universe where I could care less than to sleep and sleep; screw everything else, personal and business.
Thank God for the breast cancer, that brought me back to earth again.
When the reconstructive surgeries were over, 2 years later, I could only sort out my remaining symptoms: fatigue, joint pain, continuing hot flashes, headaches, etc. etc.
The doctors said I was just "getting old", but I thought that feeling 95 at 55 was a bit much.
That's when I found Lymenet.org: you all are Angels! I have been diagnosed and am being treated now, and feel so much better!

You have been through a lot Crawgirl. Wanting to do nothing but sleep and feeling like nothing matters sounds familiar. I felt that way too. I am glad you are getting better.

Ice pick headache= is that Babesia?
My husband, who is nearly well, was taken off Malarone in April. Now he has almost daily, weird, ice pick headaches. Could this be Babesia trying to come back?
He had a very high positive test for Babesia duncani last year.
