Morning, coming along with bart treatment using A-bart.
Since increasing the dosage per llmd to 15 drops major brain fog, sense of being in la la land. A slight fever.
Anyone else have similiar experiences with this stuff.

Thanks for your help. Have you treated bart with any antibiotics yet?
How long have you been on A-Bart?

I'm at 20 drops, 2x / day. I've also done 25 drops 2x / day for about a week, but backed down.
Overall, I feel okay. I have had moments of spaciness, dizziness, etc. Most of the symptoms that I have experienced as of late seem very Babesia like. If you read the B.W. website, you will see this is common..as you treat one infection, the other rises to the top.
I have to say I am generally pleased with my progress on A-Bart. My toe joint pain is pretty much gone, as is my foot pain. My twitching is a lot better as well (but still there a bit.)
I see my LLMD next week and am going to push for 1-3 months of Levaquin just to try to get Bart out for good.

it sounds like a normal herx reaction. Try to ramp up slower. You should be just under feeling bad, then add another drop, wait til you feel ok, then add another drop.
I wouldnt stop taking it because youre feeling this way-- it means its working

Could the same be true for Bactrim DS (for Bart)?
I was feeling halfway decent today, so decided to try to take the full dose I'm supposeed to be taking.
Took the morning dose. Went ok.
Took the evening dose. Not ok.
Total La-La land and spaciness and drunk feeling.
I always worry it's the Bactrim and not a Herx.

I have no idea what A-Bart is. Anyone care to enlighten me?

I am on A-Bart, A-L, and A-Bab up to 13 drops BID, today I have a headache which I don't know if its from the weather (rain coming in) or the ramping up on the drops. Trying to get to 15 drops BID before I see my LLMD. I notice usually a headache when I ramp up-it goes away in a few hours usually...if not I stay at that doage for awhiel...then try to ramp up again later. I also get aches in my joints which I don't usually have-my main symptoms are CNS (anxiety, depression, brain fog) and stomach related usually. That also goes away after a few hours. I am only on Mepron with these herbs. Have some recurrent C diff.
