So I've been treating Babesia for about 2 1/2 months with the Mepron/Zith combo. I've done a couple of Artemisinin pulses but it's really hard on my stomach so am looking into other things.
Anyway, over the last couple weeks my Lyme symptoms have been making a comeback--hand twitches, arthritis, stiff neck/headaches, brain fog, and that special fatigue that only seems to come from Lyme. This is separate from my Babesia herxes, as far as I can tell.
I'm supposed to tx Babesia til Dec. and then do either Bart tx or a lovely Flagyl-based Lyme protocol. I really want to complete the 6 months of Babesia treatment and am wondering if there's anything I can take (pref. not more antibiotics) to keep the Lyme at bay until I can target it directly...Garlic? Herbs? Rife?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks, guys

do you think that you could be herxing from the lyme too from what you are taking?

Would your doctor consider having you take amoxy or ceftin, or one of the lyme-hitting antibiotics, while treating babesia? That would do it.

I agree with Vermont. I've been reading that some LLMD's treat babesia and lyme at the same time for good results. Dr. H of Ca. said that babesia and lyme could be treated together.
When I tried a solo Flagyl regimen, twice I relapsed with lyme symptoms after 6-8 weeks. Drs. KS and above Dr. H say that Flagyl should always be couple with a cell wall drug (ceftin, amoxicillin, etc.) When the Flagyl makes the cysts break open, the ceftin will kill the blebs.
Again, this is what I read. I have no personal victory with this regimen yet.
