I have been on the Babs Primaquine treatment for about 5 months now --
I dont have any Babs symptoms -- except my ears have been Ringing - -seems to come and go -->
I think it is from the ABX that I am still taking-
Now I am taking -- One Primaquine per day- 26.3mg
2 X 500mg Biaxin - plus one or 2-- 100mg Doxi per day- ( to keep eye floaters from coming back-)
My vision has Much better focus --
Over all I feel Great and almost normal --
I have been sleeping better also -Dreaming -
Only time will tell if this treatment will hammer the Babs- but so far I am doing Good -- -->
Do a search on me --User number 6304 -- and put Primaquine in the search box -- there is about 10 posts about my Primaquine treatment--
Last Thursday night I rode the Full Moon Bicycle Ride here in Austin-
The weather was Perfect- the Sky was clear - the Moon was Bright --
The pace was fast - close and Fun -- Starts at 11.59 pm -
There was about 300 riders at the start -
The route was threw and around Downtown Austin - Very CooL -- The ride was about 30 miles--some Hills --
Many times we were so close together - I could reach out and touch 3 bikes--
Very Very Cool and Exciting --
I almost got to do a Hood Slider across a Police car --LOL
Missed the car by less than 2 feet--- Im not kidding
At the time We were riding down a 8 floor parking garage Fast -
I Really like Turning and going Fast - so I was passing many bikes per floor- -- FUN --
The police car had on its siren and a couple of hundred people yelling Awoo at the same time Sounded Really Trippy with the Echo o o o -->
2 people crashed Real Hard -- One was Very Bad -- Ambulance - Young Lady --
The second hard crash was about 50 feet in front of me--
A guy hit a Stop sign pole that was in the middle of the street -
the pole had NO reflectors on it -- Grey pole --No curb -- Imposable to see --Dangerous---
The signs was so badly placed that Im sure it gets run over by cars all the time--- ---Stupid --
Both crashes were cause by Hitting Obstacles -- Not by bikes hitting each other--
After the ride was over there is a party and I drank the 5th beer that I have had in 5 yrs-- was Good --
Got home at 4:30 am --- I was a little tired the next day --
I want to tell you that before I started treatment for Lyme and Babs I was so sick that I was out of bed maybe 30 minutes per day-
Mostly just laid there and Sweated and jerked around from pain--
Now I feel Good enough to do these rides and am Mostly Pain Free -- AAAAHHhhhhhh --
If I can get Well Again -So Can YOU - Jay -

Hi Groovy!
Nice to see you back and very glad you can do these rides now.
I did babs treatment for a long time. Mepron, primaquine, zithro, etc, etc; however, the combination that made a difference for me was the biaxin/mepron.
Once again, nice to see you back on Lymenet, Lymster in WA
