Like many of you who have tested for the fry bug, I tested positive for the HaemoBartonella protozoa / coccobacilli. So, if anything I know there's something abnormal going on with the RBC's.

There was something else noticeable in the picture of my RBCs that was not identified by name on the slide, so there is very likely more than I know going on. OK...

So, I have these strange reactions to some medicines. Mepron and Plaquenil cause the neuropathy. And, I just figured out the skin issue I complain about with the micro-circulation and skin-imprinting is actually a by-product of the Macrolides; Azithromycin or Clarithomycin. Only in high enough doses 300mg+ and 1000mg daily, respectively.

Mix a drug from column A and column B, and you have a side effect cocktail.

I started thinking about the supplement intolerance and looking for commonalities, and recall my experience with Quercetin. This vitamin caused a VERY similar reaction to what Azithromycin and Clarithromycin do.

Well, I find some information talking about Quercetin's effect as an anti-protozoa (apparently, one of the most effective flavinoids). And, Azithromycin has activity against protozoa (as it's used in conjunction with Mepron).

In conclusion, maybe that's it. Maybe it's a some unknown protozoa I'm attacking. Now, how...the...hell...do...I...deal...with...this?

Protozoas are parasites. Treat parasites. I posted a link a couple of days ago about this huge subject - please read it. It is a major problem for many.

Take care.

GiGi,

I think I read the thread, and I'm ready to do parasite treatment. I ordered ParaGone tonight.

But, when you talk about parasites, you typically mention the need for strong pharmaceuticals. Are you suggesting I take the 6-week program road you mentioned?

What exactly did your F lab report say? It is my understanding that the haemoplasma is the cocobacilli -- in effect something similar to bartonella.

The protozoa is similar to babesia but unless you did the newer more expensive test for either the biofilm or the PCR test for FL1953 then it won't be identified on a normal bloodslide.

I could be wrong -- but that is the way I understand the current testing.

3 ago hubby did have the ring form of babesia show on his F lab bloodslide and that is how it was labeled at that time.
