Anyone else have this? They are putting me on two more medications in addition to Doxy - azithromycin and mephron. I'm scared of this disease and also scared of all the medication and just want some input. Thanks!

Which lab and test came back positive? BTW, it's Mepron, not Mephron. We know what you're talking about though. Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
You MUST kill out babesia if you hope to get rid of Lyme. Having Babs can make it harder to get over the Lyme, so it is a battle.
Do whatever it takes to get your life back!

It is one of the most common co-infection with Lyme.
Many people have it

You have been give the proper 2 medications for babesiosis. Everyone I know with lyme disease also has babesiosis and bartonella. So, you are just average.
Lyme docs are used to treating us for all 3 diseases. No need to fret.
I had all 3 and I got rid of them over 5 years ago now. That can be you too.

I had all three and am well today, too. Hang in there, it's not easy.
One of my kids asked me just the other day if I missed the taste of Mepron, LOL!! I've been off it since Sept. 2008.

Thanks everyone. I was freaking out. Seekhelp, the test that came back positive was the Babesia Microti Antibody Panel. And, sixgoofykids, I will NEVER miss the taste of Mepron. Yuk! Is there a reason it has to be bright yellow and thick like paint??? And TF, I am far from average. hee hee.

We have the mepron flavored to make it easier for my daughter to swallow.
