Every time when I take meds that target Babs like bactrim or clindamycin or tinidazole, i Feel overall better after a time but have more airhunger and am more exhausted after climbing stairs. Is this due to die off?

It's common to feel that way when beginning a Rx like Bactrim DS for babesosis or borreliosis.

Stefan, my cousin (who lives in Germany) has the fatigue esp. after climbing stairs and off and on had problems breathing, when it got worse she felt like someone was choking her.
She goes to the Borreliose Centrum Augsburg and tested positive for Lyme and Chlamydia Pneumonia.

Stefan, I recently started treating Babs and I get the same thing now. I also get it periodically at rest, which I really never had before.
Other times when I'm clearing, I can climb them steps well, or even jog down to my mailbox (a football field away from my house) and I'm not out of breath at all.
I imagine it will clear up the longer and effectively you treat.

Thank you gary ! What did you mean "Other times when I'm clearing" ? When you take no abx?
How long should it take to get better?

"When I'm Clearing", meaning the weird sensations I get in my head going away. They are almost always present when I'm Herxing or having Air Hunger attacks. Terrible Terrible feeling....
