I've been on it over a year, and so far, so good. But I take tons of liver support. Milk thistle is not enough.

Also, it looks like after a year of omnicef and ketek, my Lyme symptoms are either gone or in enough remission to warrant easy maintenance abx treatment. About 60% of the symptoms I thought were Lyme were actually babesia and bartonella.

Hi liz28 ! What about this milk thistle,I've heard about this stuff before. I've been on Ketek for over a year and take only vitamins. I get blood work every 3 months and the liver and kidneys always come back fine. Should I be worrying about my liver? What are babesia symptoms? I have lyme with babesia co-infection. I was treated for the co-infection but how do I know it's gone? Thanks!
