Yes, I always had air hunger when treating babs...one of my major herx symptoms.
Hope you feel better soon.

I've had air hunger since January 2nd. These past few days it is bad so maybe a herx. This is really difficult to handle. I mean, YOU NEED TO BREATHE

My LLND said that Byron White formulas are much gentler herx wise for Babs (and Bart and Borrelia).
She says she doesn't like to use stuff unless they are products/protocols she has seen *work* or at least researched extensively and found to be effective.
Not downing pharmaceuticals or artemisinin. She may just be putting me on this formula to give me a break after a rough H.Pylori treatment. Very open to pharma, herbal, homeopathic, etc.

I too had my worst herxes from Babesia meds. I think it really is dependant on which you are sickest with in the beginning.
Yes, air hunger is DEFINITELY a herx reaction and symptom of Babesia. Stick with the treatment. It does get better. It's just not fun while you are going through it. Hang in there.
