Hi Swed -

I have Lyme and Babs-

When I started Babs Treatment the jerks twitches
went away -
It took many months of Babs treatment for
the twitches to go away tho --

Look into Babs symptoms -
Babs has been found in Europe -Jay-

I too can't seem to get rid of these pesky muscle twitches. I've been treating for 8 months, with different abx such as Doxy, Biaxin, and Rifampin. I've also been using supplements such as Magnesium, B-12, among others. Nothing has seemed to make these subside. In addition, all of my blood tests for different things, have come back normal.

The bottom line, is that I don't know what there is left to do, but I'm open to suggestions.

I've only been on abx for a few months now and my body wide muscle twitches are not gone..but they ARE significantly reduced compared to what they were before.

No idea when they will go away, but my LLMD says it WILL get better.

Seven Forests formula, Salvia/Amber is especially helpful for me.

It also contains zizyphus and bamboo, two other calming herbs.

I think many of the naturopathic doctors and acupuncturists in Sweden also use Seven Forests formulas. You might also be able to order directly from the European distributor. You can find that at ITM's site - www.itmonline.org

I have stoped MAGNESIUM entirely since FEBRUARY.

I have treated and still chasing BART!

My muscle twitching has reduced dramaticly ...very rarely noticed that ...but still not gone completly.

BART and LYME are still active based on mucsle testing ...THOUGH but my protokoll is stronger than ever.
