I am having bladder and kidney problems , which may or may not be related to the herbs that I am taking ( GSE and Artemisia annua ) which have helped a lot with lyme/ babs.
The bladder / kidney problems may be more a result of menopause, but I am not sure.
I am taking liquid tinctures of both these herbs, and also wonder if the preservatives could cause problems.

You might try eliminating the artemesia and see if it helps. I don't really know for sure but I would guess the artemisia may give you more issues than the GSE. My family (including 3 young children) have been on GSE for almost 2 years on and off and it has not caused any issues. 2 of my kids did develop an allergy to artemesia, however.
The GSE alone has eliminated babs in my family when a year of Mepron, zith and artemisinin could not. The GSE will also reduce your candida load.

Your answer is enormously helpful . Could you share what brand or form of GSE you used? Was it a liquid drop or capsules?
Also , what dosage have you used ? I do not have a clue how much to take for babs . I would love to know exactly what and how much has helped you beat babs.
Do you think it helps with your lyme also ? Thank you very much for sharing.

Our practitioner uses Agrisept-L by Nutridiem. The best price I have found is on ebay by a woman named K'iverson.
You can work up to 10 drops twice daily with food. Even 15 drops twice daily would be OK, but 10 is most likely enough.
The EDS testing does not show that Agrisept kills lyme, but I know some LLMD's think it hits the cyst form. Samento works great for lyme.
