I first became symptomatic about 9 months ago. For over a week now, I have had a repeat of my initial symptoms. Many of these symptoms I have not had since I first became sick. It almost feels like I was bit again because it is an instant replay of how I felt 9 months ago. I have not felt this bad since then. All of the initial symptoms came roaring back.
A low grade fever, tachycardia, palps, etc is common for me when I am herxing. For the past week or so, I have had a ton of tingling in my face, nerve pains shooting through my scalp, Babs headache at the back of my head, Icy/Hot feeling on my skin, coughing, etc. I have not had these symptoms is a VERY long time.
Is this a flare? I have heard people talk about a flare of symptoms but is that what I am going through? I just completed month 3 of Babs treatment and this all started and I do not know why.
Thank you!

I have yet to do any real ABX. The only treatment I have had so far is 3 months of Babesia treatment. I have been on Mepron only because I cannot tolerate Zith. I tried taking Zith again earlier this month in baby doses and I had to stop. Maybe the Zith stirred things up. I do not know.
It has been 9 months since I became symptomatic and it feels like an instant replay. I just do not know what is going on.
I called my LLMD and she did not say a word. All she said was restart the Mepron.

Lymetoo I am on Mepron only for 3 weeks on and then one week off because I do not do well on Zith and my LLMD will not let me have Biaxin either.
This all started when I took my week off break at the end of month three.
I am to add in Bactrim DS this month.
I have my usual Babesia herx each month but this is something far worse. I am getting Icy/Hot sensations on my skin, face tingling, and shooting pains through my scalp that I have not had in a very long time.
My cardiologist said yesterday that is sounds like I have bronchitis because I am coughing so much. I had a chest x-ray at the ER last week and it was clear.
It is very strange. It just feels like when I first got sick all over again.
