Hi everyone! I am currently a Lyme and coinfectionsurvivor. Not without issues but I’ll take it over being bed ridden and and unable to walk.
I unfortunately have passed on my Lyme and coinfections on to most of my seven children and and my husband. My
My most recent and pressing problem is with my husband. He was diagnosed interstitial lung disease around 7 years ago after a PE.
He has lost about 40% of his lung function and had been doing ok until a couple months ago when he started some Lyme symptoms. Foot pain, headaches, numbness tingling in fingers
He started a modified Bruner protocol and in the last two weeks his lung function has decreased. He has been using oxygen 24/7 for the last week.
Thursday were see his pulmonologist who is NOT Lyme literate. She repeated blood work and he is scheduled for a new CT chest scan and pulmonary function test.
He has scarring. He also has antiphopholipid antibodies , I’m very concerned and unsure what to do.
I do know Bart and Babesia live in the lungs so could this have caused this and has anyone had similar problems. If so what did you do?

It's possible that he is herxing too hard on the Buhner. He may be at the point that it's better to leave things alone, sad to say.

sticky, please click on the search button above. Put lungworm in, click on medical, any date.
You will find 145 posts about lungs/breathing and lungworm(aka a parasite).
I hope something on those threads give you some ideas. Has you husband ever done a long term parasite kill?
