Tailz,
I think your problem lys in thinking that you are going to be EMF sensitive all your life, and that there is nothing you can do about it.
There is something you can do about it. I had EMF sensitivity so bad, and before I became EMF sensitive I had treated lyme for awhile.
Artemissin will NOT do it for Babesia, it did not help me. CAN you hear me? you seem so blocked when it comes to EMF sensitivity, I have tried to help you and you close your ears,
if you remain blocked how can you get better? you cannot.
YOu need Mepron and Macrolide OR Clindamycin and Quinine for Babesia,
Clindamycin and Quinine allowed me to go back on computer. You need to do Babesia treatment with these drugs for 4 months to 1 year or maybe more. Non stop.
WHO would not want to commit suicide with what you are going through, I know this, I have been there, but I am telling you,
EMF can get better with Babesia treatment, and you need the DRUGS to do it.
GO for it.

Nobody has even offered me a quinine combo. I'd have to look and see if clindamycin would even be covered. They keep offering me the baby basics it seems, following what my insurance says I need.
My insurance will not cover malarone at all though. And Mepron is close to $400 a month (that's my copay!) Yeah, right. There's no way I can afford that for a year without becoming homeless.
I'm taking artemisinin. Sometimes I try quinine powder if I'm up for a challenge. A lot of times I don't take the quinine powder (tea) because I can't seem to remember what it reacts with. I'm tired of rereading - I have no memory when I read anymore. I can read a whole book, understand it, but I retain very little.
I know I have bartonella, too. Bartonella may be even bigger than babs for me. Problem is one Cipro about kills me. If I try to Rife bart, oh my God. I won't even turn it on for a second now.
I do not believe that everything is a herx either. If I feel excruciating pain, I'm listening to my body. Cipro empties my colon out, that's for sure, but I honestly can't handle this drug now, and in the past I did fine with it.
I know I have metal toxicity, too. I had occupational levels of arsenic, and no doctor cared. I was only 88 lbs, too - not the 120 or 140 lb male. Which is it? I forget now. My point is my liver was not working for quite a while, so I have extra metals especially with how emaciated they allowed me to become.
How will these metals leave my body when they are magnetized/polarized by cell phone towers to remain in my head?
I've honestly been sitting here trying to figure out how to drain the blood from my body. I wish I had kept my expired tubes, needles, etc... from when I was a phlebotomist.
I'm not as bad as I once was with ES. Ask Dr. S - I was so toxic my forehead crinkled under fluorescent lights - he kept telling me to stop, but I wasn't doing it intentionally. I couldn't even sit at this computer for 5 minutes without having to walk away back then, too.
Mastic gum sometimes does something. I don't know - maybe I have h-pylori in my brain. Whatever I have shot through my ear and later ate some gum tissue.
I don't know what I have to be honest. I wouldn't doubt I have all of them.

Sauna is supposed to be the best thing for heavy metals.
And don't take this the wrong way, but have you talke to a vet? There are a bunch of websites where you can buy veterinary drugs cheap without a prescription. Maybe you can see if dogs take the same thing and get it for yourself.
I am certain that draining all your blood is not good for you. That would fall into our last topic.

Tailz, check out http://www.pparx.com -- they might be able to help you even if you already have insurance, if copays are too expensive. It depends on your income/expenses. It's worth a try.

Hey, welcome to the board! Just one thing you should be aware of--
you should avoid writing in all caps. It's considered the equivalent
of shouting, and, in addition, will make your posts hard for those
with visual processing problems to read. Just a heads-up.
Anyhoo, though,
Nope: I, for one have never heard of that drug before.

Tailz,
I hope you can get to the right treatment for you.
As for fluconazole (generic diflucan)...yes for Lyme treatment.
I am currently on a diflucan protocol along with my babesia treatment.
One 200mg of fluconazole for 60 days. Then 14 days off and repeat.
It has given me clarity of speech, increased word finding and over all memory.
I am in the middle of my first break.
However, it is working for me.
Hugs,
Geneal

I'm not sure babesia is my main bug right now. I think my babesia flares in the summer.
Every year though beginning in February (when the tips of the tree branches start turning red), something starts to awaken in me - some bug. Minocycline helped last spring though - which bugs does mino kill?
Something in my knees and hip joints is flaring right now. Last night I took a baking soda bath, and that seemed to make my knees and hips worse this time. (My head felt better though).
I actually noticed a heat rash above both of my kneecaps, and it itched like crazy.
Is it bartonella? I cannot tolerate even one Cipro - it kills me every time. I can never tell if it is the die-off or an allergy to Cipro, but gosh, I can't handle Cipro - and Levaquin is not covered. Not sure if that would matter.
I don't get a terribly bad reaction though from artemisinin anymore. I have not tried quinine tea for a while, but the reactions to that aren't nearly as bad as they were over the summer (drenching sweats). Maybe babesia is dormant now though?
What would minocycline kill though? Lyme? Babs? I think it is used for many of the coinfections, so how will I know what I'm dealing with here?
Has anyone done excellent on mino and had a positive ehrlichia or bartonella? RMSF? Mycoplasma?
I think my bugs are seasonal though, and they are preparing to bloom in the spring.

Oh my, seasonal bugs preparing to bloom in spring - that is quite the mental image! And it fits with my experience, too. My babs symptoms were always worse is spring/summer, too.
I'm on minocycline, adding diflucan (fluconazole) as needed, plus many herbs - and doing well. But I have spent a lot of years treating the other co-infections already.
My impression is that mino does not kill babs or bartonella (I could be wrong), and is more effective against lyme and maybe some of the other co-infections.

Mino is used for Lyme and is especially good for cognitive symptoms because it crossed to the brain. I am on it. It's a good drug.
Nutramedix is coming out with a new herb for Babs. It's supposed to be released this month, so you might keep an eye out for it.
Can you take Rifampin for bart?

Tailz,
Groovy 2 (Jay) has described a program that provides free or low cost Mepron to needy people. If you do a search under his posts, you can find it; I will try to find the thread and post it here for you.
I hope that you will get treated for babesia, it can really help! Take care.

Bridges to Access - for people with no Rx coverage:
I think GSK has another program, too, for people whose insurance "under-covers" Mepron. Hopefully this would off-set the high co-pays.
