Wondering if OCD has been associated with babs?

Just started having issues after a couple weeks

break from babs treatment.

I think ANY infection, any toxin can cause any sort of neurological problem. The brain can have varied reactions to toxins, like a toxic shock.

Also, although I've not seen talk of this but I think adrenal dysfunction could also contribute to OCD. Adrenal stress can cause a sort of shock to which the body has any number of reactions. Some patterns of OCD seem to be related to automatic action of someone is a state of shock. I wonder if adrenal support may be of help.

Just a thought for addressing hormonal/endocrine issues along with anti-infection treatment.

I thought OCD symptoms were more related to Bartonella.

It appears that often when you treat one co-infection, symptoms of another come out.

Ask your LLMD.

My ignorance is showing, but what does OCD stand for?

For me Babesia caused air hunger, dry cough,
night sweats, to and fro dizziness when standing
and urinary urgency, mini-migraine like headaches and neck soreness. Now 10 weeks into artemisinin and bactrim most of those symptoms have gone. So for me the crazy obsessive panic like feeling seems to have been Bartonella with some overlay of memory lapses and brain fog due to Bb.
