OK I have been treating lyme 2 years now and slowly but surely making progress. In January I started a new protocol for babesia and that is when I stopped moving forward and feel worse.
I started 1 tsp. mepron bid 200mg plaquenil bid and 250 zithromax bid. I am also supposed to be on 3000mg of amoxi, 1000 of flagyl (pulsed) another teaspoon of mepron bid, and probencid but my liver enzymes have been high and I felt really really bad after starting the mepron.
Since starting mepron my symptoms like head pressure facial flushing, spaciness, floaters and chills have flared but also I got new symtpoms like crackling in my ears and old symptoms back like the lump in my throat and numbness in my toes (which had been gone like a year).
I am having so much anxiety over this what is going on? Is it because I am not able to reach my full doses? I am about 100lbs and before this I was trying the clindamycin/quinine for 10 days and then biaxin plaquenil flagyl for 10 days. Is it a prolonged herx? Is mepron not working? Is it working? All I know is that I don't feel as good as I did before I started this protocol. It has been exactly 7 weeks.
My fear is having babesia and not treating it properly...before this my main symptoms that I was trying ot get rid of were facial flushing and head pressure and some spaciness floaters and chills. My llmd has always felt very sure I have babesia.
Anyone have any advice or encouragement? I am so worried to stay like this for life.
