Hi,

I am 4 years into the treatment of lyme, babesia, bartnella, erlichia, and few other things and I have some questions about blood transfusions.

You'd think after 4 years I'd be a lot better but I am losing this battle as it seems I am chasing one co-infection for another and never getting to the lyme.

Over the last year my thyriod has dropped and I am now hypo thyriod with possible hoshimoto's syndrome and my slight anemic is now full blown anemia. My RBC are not fully formed because my heart is trying to pump them out more quickly then I can produce as bart is feeding away on all my health cells and babs is dividing them.

My question is: If I did a blood transfusion with both RBC and WBC could this help to give me shot at getting well?

I understand it's in my tissues but with IV and continuation of orals would I have a possible better chance at fighting this off and getting them dormit?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you,
smiles

my appt is tomorrow :-)

DONATE YOUR OWN BLOOD FOR YOURSELF!!

blood donations are NOT screened for lyme and coinfections EXCEPT MALARIA!!

very vital not to just get anyone's blood including fibro, cfs, and the other illnesses MIMICKING LYME!

no not donating blood..we have a family blood bank that would be tested before transfered to me.

the hemotologist wouldn't go for it, but i am continue to try and see if someone would get on board with this theory of mine.
