Just wondered if anyone here had similar experiences. The lyme antibiotics seem to work well for the brain stuff and neurological problems but the muscle aches and back pain often remain. Whenever I go on plaquenil with the Biaxin or take artemesinin with Malarone...the muscle stiffness and the low back pain goes away. Think it can be due to Babesia? I've been off both artemesinin and malarone for over half a year and I am bruising badly again, shortness of breath, stiffness of muscles and low back pain. Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks :=)

Or it is a fungus.

Hard to tell.

Any headache, nausea, lack of appetite, feel too warm or too cold? When you said backache and babesia together something clicked in my brain. Also, sweaty palms or soles of feet? When I had blood drawn it bleed a little and then bruised-Babesai?

I was born in 1952. My middle name is Marjorie after my mother.

I enjoyed your writings in Rense.

hi,
was diagnosed w/ babs a month ago. (lyme probably too)

i have had terrible chronic back pain for last 7 months.

i started on mepron/zithromax. after 3 days chronic back pain was completely gone. i had spent over 2000.00 on acupuncure and chiro in last year on it. abx wiped it out in 2 secs.

not sure if its babs or lyme. either way i am glad to not have back pain. my other symptoms
remain unforutnately.

Babesia can definitely cause pain....back pain included!
