Topic: Possibly missing treatment of coinfections - what do you think?

Bea suggested a couple weeks ago after looking over my notes in my site, that I might be missing something in my treatment. She recommended to repost my symptoms and meds here for input.

I was tested for co-infections which came up negative, but it's possible I might still have something going on there?

These are .pdf files:
http://www.scottsbt.com/maureen/momisc/lyme/Mo_Symptom_List.pdf
http://www.scottsbt.com/maureen/momisc/lyme/Med_Chart.pdf

I admit to being a little over-organized with the charts but otherwise I can't remember diddly [Smile]

So....if anyone has the time (and patience) to look it over, input is welcome. Anything that gets me closer to well is welcome, at this point!

Miz Mo,

I noticed that you had marked night sweats, chest/abdominal pain, and air hunger. These are classic bab symptoms. How prominent are these symptoms?

Best wishes!

Hmm...Not as prominent as they used to be.

I was on Doxy for a year and they gradually decreased. Then went to Cipro (both of those for chronic kidney infection).

Since I started the Ketek/Cipro combo they haven't occurred as often...I don't think I've had the chest/arm pain more than once over the last 2-3 months.

Does Babs test neg like lyme does?

I'd agree on the babs treatment. Reading your chart you have classic symptoms of babs.

Zithromax along with either:
Mepron or
Malarone or
Quinine or
Plaquenil
taken in conjunction with artemisinin.

In my son's case, after he was treated for babesia we quickly realized that 70% of his symptoms were babs, only about 30% lyme.
