Ketek was great against lyme.
Levaquin knocked the sock off bart but left me with tendonitis and completely floxed - so relapsed.
Now I am doing well on Bactrim DS and zithro. Pulse tindamax twice a week.

Lyme-ketek (if dr won't prescribe ketek you could use Biaxin) & IM Bicillin & diflucan for yeast problems
Babs-chloroquine & primaquine but may need to continue weekly primaquine

Lyme: doxy and plaquenil
Positive IgG for Bart: doesn't feel active now.
Negative Babs test.

Dekrator, I thought your LLMD treated you hard for Babesia? Nothing in that combo hits Bart really.

I treated for 2 1/2 months with Mepron, etc.
My only herx while on it was increased joint and muscle pain.
I've been on several different Abx combos that I haven't mentioned.
I don't really feel like the Bart was active when I started treatment...no anxiety or depression or rage, no swollen lymph nodes, no bart rashes,etc.

Thought I was finally cured for about 6 weeks. Still dealing with achilles tendonitis from Plaquenil though and not cured.
