I am no feeling very disorientated and kind of detached from my body - awful!!
I have some artmesinin on the way - will probably be a week. My doctor is away until 4th February. I am worried though about starting anything like bactrim and if she'll be keen. I'm in Australia and its tough to have lyme here.
Can babs come out once other infections are clearing up? I haven't herxed on any lyme stuff for a few months and was 80% better(now going backwards!)
What else can I do for now until some help arrives?
Feeling really frightened.

I was doing really well, then had the same exact symptoms you have! I think now that my lyme and bart are under control, my babs is coming out.

If you read my post re babs and artemesinin yesterday you will get some advice from others.
I actually had my doctor give me a steroid asthma inhaler which I am not using. My chest x-ray showed up slightly abnormal - similar to asthma, but I think it's too much of a coincidence not to be caused by everything else, plus getting worse with all these other new symptoms.
I am getting some artemesinin from my doctor. Some people say that it may become resisitant if not taken with something else. Others say to pulse it. Do some research yourself.
I think the same as you. I got my lyme and bart under control which has let the untreated babs come out.
Its really hard for me here in Aussie. Lyme, etc is not believed to even be here so getting help is incredibly hard. I've done well to get to where I am, thanks to the help of a doctor who's pretty much done what I've wanted.
I am no sure how I'll go getting an abx for babs, but will see how I go.
I am soon starting tinidazole as I haven't yet targeted cyst form of lyme - they are probably all hiding!!!
Let me know how your progress goes if you see your LLMD. I would really appreciate a PM as I kind of fly a little blind here.
I am consulting with a Lyme Literate Naturopathic doctor from San Diego who came to Sydney earlier in the year which is helpful. She has recommended Artemesinin, but haven't had a chance to talk to her and have a consult about abx.
Good luck and hope you'r feeling better soon.
