Topic: need symptoms LINKS of babs and bart

Took my 4 year old in today for his school

physical. He seemed to be having ``air hunger''.

I told the Dr he had been doing that since a

camping trip to West Virginia, about 2 months ago.

So, I asked for

a babs and bart blood test. They said they

didn't even know what I was talking about. So I

said fine, said my son to my Lyme friendly CDC

Dr, who treated my son for Lyme. They said they

don't give referrals based on one symptom. His

O2 was 99 and he was not wheezing. UGG. So

she asked for a copy of his Western Blot and she

will consult with some other Drs. So I am

asking if anyone has any reputable article

describing the symptoms of babs and bart, other

than Dr Bs guidelines.

Thanks in advance!

I don't have any articles, but that is my one remaining symptom. Seems to be getting better not worse, so I'm not too worried, in fact, I seldom have it. I wanted to let you know that tonic water helps me with that symptom.

Also, asthma was one of the first things I was tested for as that was one of my first symptoms (no wonder it's the last to leave).
