I just wanted to post this for all of those out there who are suffering and see no llight at the end of the tunnel.
I won't go into my whole 8 year stroy of infection lets just say I have STRUGGLED immensley over the last 8 years.
For the last year i have been treated by an llmd in scottsdale (lucky to have found him).
Diagnosed with babesiosis.
Blood smear babs and white matter in brain extremely prevelent.
Took doxy for 6 months, started to feel better after 4 annd relapsed hard after 6.
Put on mepron and zithh twice daily after relapse. was hell for first 2 months. lost a lot of hope.
Started to feel sporadically better after 3 months and more consistently better after 4 and 5 and now im at 6 months and i dont really think about it to much at all.
Went to doc today and my smear was DRASTICALLY reduced. He is using my case for babs diag in his power point presentation to state and federal levels. Have another 6 months to go and my hopes are high!!
If i see the same level of improvment in the next 6 as this 6 I'm home free.
There is hope people even when it seems immposiblly difficult! Stick with it and you'll be rewarded.
Much Love, Tony

Hi Tony, Thanks for the inspirational news on your recovery, it is always needed for those of us wondering if it is ever possible.If you ever want to put your LD story together the good the bad and the recovery & send it to me, I can post it at my site (below). LD stories help others searching for answers tremedously.
Not enough people post that they are doing well and recovered. Most of the folks who get well will leave this board and go on with their life.
So! As one of the one's who did not leave when they got well, I am here to tell you that Lyme does get better, will get better, and you have every right to be hopeful.
In my experience, as long as you have a good LLMD, you are determined, and you stick to your protocols, you will get well. You also MUST have a positive attitude and exercise as much as possible. Be as aggressive as you can with your Lyme and co-infection treatment, do not stop it too early, and you should do fine. Keep fighting even when all seems hopeless. Trust me.
