Hi All-

I have been on the Babs Primaquine treatment for
about 5 months now --

I dont have any Babs symptoms --
except my ears have been Ringing -
-seems to come and go -->

I think it is from the ABX that I
am still taking-

Now I am taking --
One Primaquine per day- 26.3mg

2 X 500mg Biaxin -
plus one or 2-- 100mg Doxi per day-
( to keep eye floaters from coming back-)

My vision has Much better focus --

Over all I feel Great and almost normal --

I have been sleeping better also -Dreaming -

Only time will tell if this treatment will
hammer the Babs-
but so far I am doing Good -- -->

Do a search on me --User number 6304 --
and put Primaquine in the search box --
there is about 10 posts about my Primaquine treatment--

Last Thursday night I rode the
Full Moon Bicycle Ride here in Austin-

The weather was Perfect- the Sky was clear -
the Moon was Bright --

The pace was fast - close and Fun --
Starts at 11.59 pm -

There was about 300 riders at the start -

The route was threw and around Downtown Austin -
Very CooL --
The ride was about 30 miles--some Hills --

Many times we were so close together -
I could reach out and touch 3 bikes--

Very Very Cool and Exciting --

I almost got to do a Hood Slider across a
Police car --LOL

Missed the car by less than 2 feet---
Im not kidding

At the time We were riding down a 8 floor
parking garage Fast -

I Really like Turning and going Fast -
so I was passing many bikes per floor-
-- FUN --

The police car had on its siren and a couple of hundred people yelling Awoo at the same time Sounded Really Trippy with the Echo o o o -->

2 people crashed Real Hard --
One was Very Bad -- Ambulance -
Young Lady --

The second hard crash was about 50 feet
in front of me--

A guy hit a Stop sign pole that was in
the middle of the street -

the pole had NO reflectors on it --
Grey pole --No curb --
Imposable to see --Dangerous---

The signs was so badly placed that Im
sure it gets run over by cars all the time--- ---Stupid --

Both crashes were cause by Hitting Obstacles --
Not by bikes hitting each other--

After the ride was over there is a party
and I drank the 5th beer that I have had
in 5 yrs-- was Good --

Got home at 4:30 am ---
I was a little tired the next day --

I want to tell you that before I started
treatment for Lyme and Babs
I was so sick that I was out of bed
maybe 30 minutes per day-

Mostly just laid there and Sweated and
jerked around from pain--

Now I feel Good enough to do these rides and
am Mostly Pain Free -- AAAAHHhhhhhh --

If I can get Well Again -So Can YOU - Jay -

Hi Groovy!

Nice to see you back and very glad you can do these rides now.

I did babs treatment for a long time. Mepron, primaquine, zithro, etc, etc; however, the combination that made a difference for me was the biaxin/mepron.

Once again, nice to see you back on Lymenet,
