Hello.

I don't have an official diagnosis for Babesia, however I have severe shortness of breath, air hunger, and serious palpitations.

The only things were are odd on my blood count is my RDW was low, and also, my MVP was high...which is very confusing. I understand that this means the majority of my red blood cells are immature, new born blood cells from the bone marrow.

Do you think this indicates Babesia/Lyme?

Sorry, I mean *MPV count.

I guess it could. It means your body is constantly producing red blood cells because it must need them. And, since babs destroys them, that would make sense.
