Can someone please give me a sense of how the babesia symptoms are ?
I have tingling sensation all over the body and sometimes pins & needles kind of sensation, muscle spasms etc.
I aam already tested postive for Lyme and babesia from IGENEX labs.
I would like to know what the babs symptoms are sothat after the medication I can check if teh symptoms are gone.
Appreciate your help
Thanks

Hi, my worst symptom was not being able to get a full breath in. I learned they call this air hunger.
I have been on Mepron for a couple of months now and that symptom is much better.
The other difference I notice is that a pain in my upper chest (where the ribs meet) is gone.
I am pretty sure that was Babesia. Hope you get improvement.

Go to Dr. Joseph J. Burrascano's Treatment Guidelines in the Newby links and scroll down to Babesia.

The following signs/symptoms may be present in those infected with Babesiosis: Fatigue Arthralgias Myalgia Drenching sweats Headaches Emotional lability Depression Dark urine Splenomegaly Dizziness Nausea and vomiting Cough Dyspnea Fever Chills Hepatosplenomegaly Jaundice Malaise Shortness of breath Bleeding tendencies, bruising Thrombocytopenia Hemoglobinuria Hyperesthesia Pulmonary edema Encephalopathy Low to normal range leukocyte counts Possible elevated levels of dehydrogenase, bilirubin, transaminase* Anorexia
Approximately 25%- 66% of Babesia patients are known to be co-infected with Lyme disease. These symptoms may continue for long periods of time, decrease, then return.
A low Babesiosis titer (IgG) often indicates a chronic infection. An acute or current infection may show a higher reading on the IgM test initially.
There are over 100 species of Babesia in the United States but only ONE or TWO species are currently checked by commercial labs.
