Hello All.
Ironically, today is the 5 year anniversary of me getting sick. But I've been 90-95% for the past 4 years although still have some lingering things my LLMD and I are chasing.
Most of what is left is: 1)Occasional, mild night sweats (Im a man and this is not normal at my age (late 30's) 2)Mild tinnitus. I do have periods where one ear or the other will ring loudly and ache from time to time. 3)Muscle twitching (primarily calves.)
All are mild and manageable. LLMD thinks it is gram negative bacterial (i.e. Brucella or Bart), Parasites, or Babs and that Biofilms are contributing.
I think some of my above Sx may be due to magnesium deficiency.
Which bug depletes the body of Magnesium? I thought Babesia was a culprit

I agree with Lymetoo. Also night sweats can indicate babesia. Were you treated for that?
Glad you're feeling so much better!

- Celiac can cause magnesium deficiency, and even gluten sensitivity . . . and so can leaky gut and other matters that prevent full digestion & assimilation of nutrients.
A diet too low in the foods that contain key minerals & a wide range of nutrients, too.
Acetaminophen cause a blockage of the body's cells of incoming nutrients, too, by blocking glutathione . . . thereby "gumming up" the cellular respiration. Not just in the liver but in all the cells. -

Thanks...I should mention I've been off meds for 2 years.
Yes, I treated Babesia Duncani extensively with high dose Mepron/Zith, high dose Clindy, Daraprim, Lariam, Coartem, etc. It knocked it back, but I think it is still there.
Currently treating with herbs/tinctures. Right now I'm on Byron White A-Bio, which was brutal when I started it. Also starting Byron White A-P.
