I feel like I'm bugging everyone right now with my thousands of questions.. [Frown]

Do you ever get shivering/chills where you just CAN'T get warm? Maybe this is all part the the great big herx right now? Need to yawn to actually get a breath too! Fatigue is horrific as is my constant need to sleep/lie down.

Just part of a giant herx?

That sounds like babesia. If you are treating borellia, it could be babesia is taking over. It requires anti-malarial drugs to treat - not antibiotics.

Yes, just treating Lyme- the bone-crushing fatigue and need to constantly sleep are the worst symptoms. My LLMD wants me to try babesia treament next...

Babesia for sure. You could be getting some die-off from abx. Many drugs have action against Babs, but the antimalarials and antiparasitics are the strongest.

Don't let this go on for too long, in case Babs is flaring badly. Contact your LLMD.

Actually before I started the present treatment my LLMD did a trial of babesia meds and .. wow - if I'm bad now it made me 100x worse! Yes, I too think it's from the die-off as well.

i was told years ago that a yawn is the bodies way of trying to get more O2...it might be just that or it might be related to air hunger that is common with babs

Lyme? Its complicated. Educate yourself.

Agree Ipkayak-but why does it mostly happen when I'm flaring I wonder? Will see what my doctor to say about this. Thx.
