Could a relapse just be babs and not lyme?

My current symptoms are: tremors, night sweats (mainly around head and neck), anxiety, insomnia ( altho it's better),

Weird head stuff when I'm trying to fall asleep, weight loss heart goes crazy and weakness.

Just feel awful.

I didn't think I had babs the first time but maybe I did. Would be possible to have kicked the lyme and left a coinfection that comes back years later?

Thanks

But can it happen alone?

Probably not. When I was better from Lyme, the babs pretty much went away on its own. Tonic water was enough of a "drug" to eliminate symptoms. You could try to treat babs alone, but don't be surprised if the Lyme is a piece of it.

Sorry you're feeling bad again.

Can you still find tonic water with quinine? That worked as homeopathic?

I just used Schweppes when I was traveling. It's not natural quinine, but it is quinine.

I used one of the natural brands when I was at home. There are a couple out there that have the natural herb.

I don't believe it was homeopathic, I just think that the babesia was easy to get rid of once the Lyme was gone. That was basically a "drug" I could get on my own without a prescription.

It sounds like Lyme and Babs. You should google Lyme symptom list and compare your symptoms.

I would think you could relapse on just one .. why not?

Lyme and coinfections are explained here:
