I was wondering if treating babs helped people with depression. My LLMD wants me to start art for babs. I have none of the typical symptoms. He treats for all co-infections. I am depressed and having sleeping problems. I am wondering if those were helped for people once the treated babs.
Thoughts?

I hope your LLMD is onto something. I have Babesia and depression and insomnia too.
My LLMD is treating my Babesia with abx as well as with artemisia annua.
Hopefully my symptoms will get better as time goes on.

I sleep like a baby now that I am being treated. I had sleep issues for the last few years and a little anxiety. I had been on Lexapro to help not really sure of why this was happening to me.
Anyway, since treatment as of February, I sleep like a baby. I have not been on Lexapro since the end of January.
Now, be sure to know that I am also being treated for adrenal fatigue. So, perhaps that is why I feel better.

Lemonsnothlyme - That is wonderful. I have been in treatment for 9 months. I haven't been able to get rid of anxiety or the sleep problems. The prescription anti-depressants have not helped.
That is why I am thinking that perhaps treating babs (though I don't think I have the symptoms) might help.
