I increased my ABABS by one drop today and I feel like I have the flu. My eyes are all blurry and I felt like I was going to pass out. Is this possible from adding just one drop? I am only on 6 drops twice a day and the llmd wants me to get up to 40 drops a day.
Please help. Feeling horrible. Just got a call from the ent doctor that my testing Monday showed nothing, then why do I feel so off balance and rocking on a boat feeling all the time. I say its babesia, correct? What is going to take this feeling away

yes, my hubby will feel bad just increasing by 1 drop.
And the off balance, tipsy feeling was definitely babesia for my hubby.
With treatment it does get better. Several people told him that babesia was the worst one to get rid of.
Have you tried Burbur (NutriMedix) to help clear the herx?

No, no one told me about Burbur? Where do I get that and what is it, a liquid? How many drops is your husband doing of the ABABS? Is that the only med he is on for babesia?

I'm sure one drop could do that. You are not even able to handle the dosage you have been on. It sounds like it's too early to raise it any.

Here's a link to the Burbur. My hubby's LLMD recommended it to help clear the herxes. He takes 10 drops of it at a time, in water. https://www.nutramedix.com/shop/burbur-detox
He's rifing for babesia currently. Occasionally he takes 1 drop of ABAB.
He has trouble detoxing so cannot take much of anything to treat without getting very sick. His babesia symptoms are not nearly so bad like they used to be.
His worst symptoms are fatigue, muscle pain, and an unhappy gut.

A-BAB is very strong. Yes, you can feel this bad from increasing it by one drop. You need to increase slowly and at whatever pace you can handle which may not be up to 40 drops. It sounds like you are herxing from the increase.
I could not tolerate A-BAB.

I feel worse since on ABABS, probably herxing. I ordered the above detox stuff but until I receive it, what can I do to help relief some of these symptoms, crying off and on all the time.

One HUGE mistake I made was looking at what "normal" doses were supposed to be and not listening when a Nutramedix advisor told me that MY normal dose would be one drop below the dose that made me herx.
To use Samento as one example, the right dose for me was only 5 drops of Samento, and in the morning only. I was never able to go higher.
I looked at the so-called "starting dose" of 30 drops twice daily and pushed myself to go higher.
The result was a lot of end organ damage to my heart valves and my spine and, 4 yrs. of non-stop miserable herxing.
