My daughter's latest symptoms after being on Babs treatment for one week are these weird hot flashes.
She has never had these before...could this be a sign? Maybe a herx? Hmm....is this even a symptom of Babesia?
Thanks for any input...

I have them... and my other post is now I'm turning red from them too.. so others can now SEE when I have the hot flash/flush.
It's been typical with me with my bab's. I have been on the new malarone for a month now and they have gotten worse like this.

I got the hot flashes only after taking Mepron. I was on Mepron for two months until my doctor concluded that I did not in fact have Babesia. So, I am thinking that is a reaction to the medicine. I'll let you know if they stop now that I will no longer be on Mepron. I am now being treated for Bartonella and Lyme.

I have hot flashes upon waking but not everyday. My LLMD and I suspect it's babs WA-1, but not sure. I'm going to try lariam next.

I think it is a sign of babs.
I had quite a few of them when I started babs treatment. I even woke up in the night in a sweat, which I think is also babs.
Although I am 46 and of the age for possible menopause, I had a complete hysterectomy, so no ovaries, and should not be having menopause symptoms. I've been on the same HRT for 5 years with no problems, until I started babs treatment.

Thanks guys...I think this is really confirming that she has babs too. She said her hands got like burning hot....and her cheeks were flush...
Thanks for the input...

Babs is going to be at least 8 months of mepron and zith. Symptoms will get worse before they get better.
