Hello! I am in CA right now...I've had decent success with my current LLMD but he is not willing to treat bart very heavily for my remaining symptoms because I have not had a positive test. I talked to him about how the testing doesn't pick up BLO very often and he basically just wants the positive test.
My remaining symptoms are streaks on my skin, body part jerks and calf/foot pain and overall low grade body muscle pain and insomnia. I am currently treating with Malarone, Tindamax, Septra DS and artemisinin. I have asked multiple times to be put on azithromycin but he has not done it yet.He feels that this combo should be effective for babs AND bart...any thoughts? From what I've read it seems like it might not be aggressive enough for either infection...
My main concern is that I will not be treated effectively for both babs (and bart which I haven't treated much except for septra which makes a big difference). I am young (24) and money is tight so while I am spending a lot on malarone I would like to make every penny worth it and not have to redo treatment!
Any thoughts are helpful. Also if anyone is in CA and has had good success with an LLMD would you please message me? I am in Santa Barbara but am willing to drive.
