Hi All,

The last few nights I've been waking up several times not recognizing where I am or my surroundings.

I look around etc. but nothing is familiar. This morning my cat nudged me and meowed and snapped me out of it, and then I recognized I was at home-that I lived there and I was safe.

Last week I was given a clinical dx of babesia based on my drenching sweats and inability to regulate temp.

I started cryptolepsis for the babs, along with mino and tindi for lyme.

Do any of you have these episodes?

Does it sound like lyme, or babs, or maybe another Co-infection?

It is scary.

wow that does sound scary, and also that it is in response to the stuff you just started taking. Did it start AFTER you began the above meds/herb?

Thanks Joalo [Smile]

Hi CD57-yes, it seemed to get worse after restarting the mino and the crytpo. I had nightmares before and would sometimes wake up disoriented, but it would only be for a split second.

Now when I wake up during the night it's almost like I'm in a trance or something. Thank goodness for my cat to snap me out of it.

Could this be a babs herx?
Or a flare of something else?
