a major symptom throughout this sickness has been the extreme heaviness in my arms, legs, and head, it feels like I'm carrying around weights and walking through water all the time, in the beginning this was not as bad as it is now, and it would cycle, now it's just constant, I've been on heavy meds for three months and three wks of iv therapy, it just seems like this is never going to go away.

Have it too. Thinks flagyl caused it. It was a bit better, but then got worse after a flu.

Shannon... I know the heaviness you speak of. The thing that helped me was an infrared sauna. I found a pilates studeio in my area that has one and she lets me pay a monthly minimal fee to use it.

If you are able, I would try it and see if it helps... It has been amazingly helpful for me....

I don't detox well and I think it has been a Godsend.

I never thought of the Babs causing that Tutu.... Great observation. Maybe that is why I am feeling better too... it took awhile for me to get Babs somewhat under control. The Sida Acuta is really helping me.

Babesia

SixGoofy called it a lead suit.

Cryptolepis is helping me.

anybody??? [Roll Eyes] what else is working..

I thought a lot of babs symptoms were better,
tried a new med, or just timing,

and so much of it is back,,if it's Babs..

tingles,jitters in leg .thigh pain , sore throat,noise and light issues ..a few others that come and go


The lead suit never went away,,, lifted a bit for about 3 days in Jan . and 2 in Feb. But that was all.

I'm sad to have/feel it. But it helps to know it's real and not just some emotion issue
