I have read many of the Lyme/Parkinson's posts and I would like to connect with other Lyme patients who have Parkinson's symptoms. What treatment have you done? Has IV abx helped or did orals help you? Have you really made improvement? Has anyone lost mobility and it has come back after abx treatment?

My husband was diagnosed with PD and just tested positive for Lyme. I've had Lyme since 2004. His symptoms are much more like PD. We hope that with some Lyme treatment his PD symptoms will decrease.

I am grateful for any advice or experience you can offer.

Peace

I am not one of the Lyme/Parkinson patients. But when I saw your post, I thought about Babesia when I read that your husband has PD. I tried to do a search but not very successfully, but did find this one:

Another trend that I have observed is that almost all of my patients that have Lyme disease (Bb) along with rheumatoid arthritis, MS (Multiple Sclerosis), Alzheimer�s or Parkinson�s, are also likely to have Babesia. If I had to guess, I would say that at least a third of all Lyme disease sufferers have co-infections, and possibly more.

I have also read that IV glutathione treatments are very helpful to Parkinson patients.

Hopefully, others will come along and respond.

Best,
Karen
