So I went to the dermatologist again yesterday because my bottoms of my feet are severely peeling, she gave me an over the counter cream. Said she don't know what it is but its not fungal. First the palms of my hands, now my feet, ugh.
I took three more drops of the ABABS last night and one doxy and woke up horrible. Could barely walk, my head feels like there is a balloon in it going up and down and I am so off balance. Is this a herx?
Saw the neurologist this week and he told me to go see an infectious disease doctor, which I am not doing and didn't know why I am so off balance. ugh.
I am not getting anywhere for months. Put a call into the llmd, no answer back to phone message or email.
Feeling disgusted, hyper, anxious and mad.

Personally, I would stop the ABABS and see how you feel in a week.

thanks Lymetoo: Do you think ABABS is causing all these issues? I just took my nightly dose but no doxy. I am so sick but not sure what is causing all of this. Thanks for any suggestions as I do appreciate it a lot.

Stop both and then add one at a time. Since you are having babesia symptoms, I suspect the ABABS as the cause. I am not a doctor!
We have to be our own sleuths!

I will Lymetoo. I seriously don't know what is wrong but I am so sick of living like this everyday for the past 20 months. Before I started any lyme treatment this past February, I did not have this terrible off balance stuff, it came once I went on mepron and zith but I am not on either anymore. My head feels like its not functioning right, always in a deep fog. Driving is becoming very hard for me and all I do is cry. My skin feels like its 120 degrees all the time, the sweating is terrible. I know this all sounds like babesia to me., how do I treat it? The llmd want to retest everything through Igenex in another two weeks then wait three more weeks to get results. why retest?

I take Ativan for anxiety but honestly, it doesn't touch it, my anxiety is getting worse. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? I was on 3mg. Ativan daily and have weaned myself down to 1.5 but seem to be stuck there. Honestly, I don't even know why I take it because it doesn't help anymore.

Lindadanis:
So sorry you are going through this. Every single symptom you describe sounds like Babesia to me. Every one.
Babesia flares are miserable. Crying, panic, off balance / rocking boat feelings, head pressure.
