I'm taking biaxin, ceftin, plaquenil, and pulsing in artemisinin. Am I treating bartonella, babesia or borrelia?

Thanks!!

I have taken both biaxin and ceftin to target lyme, and my llmd is starting me on artemisinin for babesia.

The majority of your meds are for lyme, but the art is usually taken with other drugs to combat babesia.

Artemisinin may also work on Bart.

I like the game but what do I win if I give the "right" answer?

Nelly

PS: at the moment, I am taking roxythromycin, artemisinin, ginkgo biloba turmeric, pulsing in tinidazole. What am I treating?

Nelly - It's definately not a game. Due to a very bad case of "lyme brain" I couldn't remember what my LLMD said we were treating. I'm sad to say this was a real question and this is my real life...or what's left of it.
