Before I schedule appt. w/ LLMD in morning, I want to ask you your opinion.

I am on 3rd round of doxy. This time it is for 1 month.

I never feel good, but it seems like every three or four days I have a really bad day.

I tested negative for BABS with my neuro. But, this sounds more like BABS to me.

What do you think? Can herxing happen every three to four days with a couple days of possible hope in between?

Tis late and I can't recall the total history here... but one thing I noted after reading this post... in a slight stupor I am in...

Your system can be slow in clearing out the toxins... and it catches up.. then fills up.

That probably sounds dorky... but it can and does happen.

BTW- Were you tested for WA-1 or just Babesia microti?

Do you have many Babesia symptoms? Fever?

Nature of the beast, you can feel worse anytime unfortunately.

Herxing or LD flare? Who knows, almost 4 years of this and I can't figure it out, I just know I don't like it.
