and a few other symptoms of a urinary tract

infection. So I went to the Dr. He found

blood in my urine and sent off for a culture

it came back showing no infection. Went back

in two weeks for recheck more blood so did

an xray for kidney stones, none and culture

came back neg again. Took cipro to be safe.

2 weeks later still bleeding did biaxin now Jan and

still having same problem. Doc is sending

me to a urologis tomorow. My question is can

babs cause this? I read a checklist of

symptoms and don't have most of them.I do

have night sweats and unrelenting headache

but other than that and this blood nothing

else. I thought I may stick my neck out and

mention it to the urologist tomorow if there

is a posibility of it being babesia. I have

been off of all treatment for over a year

now and am starting a quick spiral backwards

so considering finding an LLD again. Just

trying to cover all my bases. Thanks for

After 6 weeks IV Rocephin, 2 grams, 3-4 days a week I improved much in '99 but then had gross hematuria and started IV Claforan. No back ache, but I did feel funk for awhile.

I think anti Babesia meds can cause some red blood cells to rupture. My lab didn't find red blood cells but hemaglobin in my urine.

My urologist was unfamiliar with tick borne diseases and never did know what caused my hematuria (which has not returned, TYG).
