I've had this rocking sensation for two years now and wish it would just let up!
I've been treating babesia now for almost 4 months...still having this symptom. Meanwhile, I started getting these small bumps on my scalp which is thought to be bartonella related. I'm going to start levaquin in a couple of months.
I was wondering if anyone has had this symptom resolve and what helped. I'm anxious to start the levaquin because I'm hopeful that it will help...but then again I was hopeful about the babs treatment and I haven't seen much response.

Ahhh yes, the rocking boat. I would often CRAWL to the bathroom, not becuase I wasn't able to walk as in my beginning days, but because my balance was so far off.
Once you have fallen and bruised up your face from this, you get on your hands and knees more.
I was treated for lyme, bart and babs and somewhere along the line it did settle down. Could have been the Levaquin, but my brain is such a fog, I just don't remember.
I'm now on IV after 20 months of orals and going back through the rocking boat, so herxing could bring this symptom back as well, as I can see.
Hope you are able to get it resolved since it use to rock so much, I'd be sick to my stomach and it's just not fun.
Keep us posted.

Yes, I had this symptom and it got worse after starting Doxy (this is when I first started tx almost a year ago). I would sit completely still or even lay down and I'd feel like my body was rocking back and forth. Very weird and uncomfortable!
It's let up since then. I have it once in a while, but not very often at all anymore.
I'd say what helped most was the lyme and Bartonella treatment, since I haven't really gotten into treating Babs yet. I'd say Bart treatment helped the most since I treated that longer than the Lyme treatment.
Good luck with your Bart treatment!

Disturbedme,
Thanks for your reply! How long were you treated or have been treating for Bart?
