I have just started treating for Babesia with one teaspoon of Mepron twice a day along with 1 gram of Biaxon per day.

I'm going on two weeks since I started and today I am experiencing small tremors in my head, unable to concentrate and depersonalization.

I've heard of Babesia flairs...is this it?

My babesia is horrible fatigue and leg weakness...but everyone herxs differently.

The biaxin may also be hitting lyme.

Thank You, Beths. I have heard of pulsing Mepron as three weeks on and one week off.

This is really strange as the Mepron didn't seem to do anything in the beginning.

If been on it for 18 days total and it's hitting it hard.

I believe it takes 3 weeks to build up in your body to therapeutic levels..

Hang in there
