I am a 33 year old female i have Babesia Bartonella and Lyme that i know of so far.
I was bit 12 years ago had the bullseye rash treated for 2 weeks of antibiotics then told later i never had lyme. I went all these years untreated.
for the last 2 years I have been on a slew of antibiotics. for the last 2 months and still curently im on mepron, rifampin, and azythromycin.
I feel like this medicine will kill me somedays. Im only 105 and 5'1. I have severe anxiety and stabbing chest pains and palpitations with numbness in my arms since i started. im nervous about my current doctor and unsure about his protocol and think i should get a second opinion.
My symptoms are brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, mood swings, debilitating depression, heart palpitations, disorientation, shortness of breathe, night sweats, joint pain, fever chills, memory loss.
Any help i can get I would appreciate so very much. Thank you

Hi! Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for CT.
You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.
Btw - you should not use your real name on Lymenet because this is a public forum with all sorts of people on it. Read the following link which explains why:
