So I've been off Babs meds for 2 months now. Treating for Bartonella. Bad experience with rifampin and Levaquin. Now on Mino, Bactrim & Biaxin, for last 2-3 weeks.
Curious, though if this is Babs or gluten. I feel flu like and have woken up the last 2 nights sweating. Also, I have been excessively thirsty. I figured that was from the abx's but now I don't know.
This is such a struggle. I'm at my wit's end. Don't go to LLMD for 2 weeks, don't want to call, they won't do anything til they see me anyways.
Just venting and plain miserable. Posted by manybites (Member # 33750) on :
If you had it for very long I would have advised Rifampin and later after months in it you could have treated with levaquin .
I suffered for 9 months on treatment for bart.I even had babs untreated and was very sick and took only artemisin.
I would add Cryptolepsis to kill babs and bart at the same time.Cryptolepsis will hold babesia at least.
I am about to start sida acuta so I do not know much about it for babesia but I will highly suggest you to have somthing to keep it under the controll if it comes up .
Some people have to try to go back and retreat it .it all depends on how long you have been sick from it.
How many months did you treat babs and what did you take for it.If the dosage was 2tsp of mepron than you still have it.The dosages now are higher than that.

I was on Mepron over a period of 18 months. I had taken up to 1-1/2 t 2x a day with zith and art. I hadn't had any babs symptoms for months prior to going off of mepron.
I have the BW formulas for both babs and bart so I guess I'll start to take those again.

Bart can cause sweating too. It is not the profuse kind - described as thick and sticky. I don't know why you would be so thirsty. Maybe you should get your blood sugar tested.

Thirsty=mycoplasma?

I stoped my treatment for babesia due to the stomak issue and the one thing that hit me quickly is I am very thirsty.
I usully do not drink much and that was my concern for a while but to my surprise babs is comming back and I am thirsty.And not is not mucoplasma as I treated 2 years and 1/2 in Mino and azythromycin and took high dosages of enzymes and treated it with bionic as well.
I took a few days levaquin to calm down bart ( numbness ) and I do not react much to it.
So babs is the one.The dosages of mepron was very low ( I reached even 5 tsp) at the end.I still have it and is coming back again .
yes bartonella can make you sweat too.BUt in my case you never eradicated babs with the dosages you took.
You can be forever in small dosages ( but you still need to reach the higher dosages to eradicate it.I needed to stay longer on it as I had it for VERY long.
