Bea suggested a couple weeks ago after looking over my notes in my site, that I might be missing something in my treatment. She recommended to repost my symptoms and meds here for input.
I was tested for co-infections which came up negative, but it's possible I might still have something going on there?
I admit to being a little over-organized with the charts but otherwise I can't remember diddly
So....if anyone has the time (and patience) to look it over, input is welcome. Anything that gets me closer to well is welcome, at this point!

Miz Mo,
I noticed that you had marked night sweats, chest/abdominal pain, and air hunger. These are classic bab symptoms. How prominent are these symptoms?
Best wishes!

Hmm...Not as prominent as they used to be.
I was on Doxy for a year and they gradually decreased. Then went to Cipro (both of those for chronic kidney infection).
Since I started the Ketek/Cipro combo they haven't occurred as often...I don't think I've had the chest/arm pain more than once over the last 2-3 months.
Does Babs test neg like lyme does?

Hi Miz
The tests for coinfections are Very Poor at best--
I have Babs --For Sure -- but my tests came back (IND)--
Dont use tests to Rule Out Disease-- use tests only to conferm--
DX by symptoms Only --Jay--

I'd agree on the babs treatment. Reading your chart you have classic symptoms of babs.
Zithromax along with either: Mepron or Malarone or Quinine or Plaquenil taken in conjunction with artemisinin.
In my son's case, after he was treated for babesia we quickly realized that 70% of his symptoms were babs, only about 30% lyme.
