Hi all,

I began babesia treatment Thursday, taking mepron and arteminisin.

It hasn't been much fun- fatigue and nausea are probably at near record highs for me.

I noticed yesterday a bunch of red dots on my arms. I've always had these and my LLMD said they are a sign of babesia, but there seem to suddenly be many more.

Am just wondering-- is that a die-off sign? Common? A signal that I need to detox better? Thanks for any advice

Hey landslide, what do the red dots look like and where on your arm are they located? I've had red dots before on my arm in the mornings but they quickly disappear and I think they are from my beard aggravating my skin when I sleep.

I had the same thing when I was on Biaxin, Rifampin, and Alinia for Bart. I think it's a die off sign.
That protocol kicked my butt, but was really effective. Hopefully the red dots are a sign of how effective your treatment will be too. Hang in there....hopefully your body will adjust to the new meds.

Thanks jrpsf. I sure hope it's a sign that this is working. I took some photos today so will monitor if more of them show up.

Fronton - they are pretty much all over my arms from wrist to shoulder. There's about 10-15 per arm.

I noticed these yesterday but on my chest. They seem new to me. I'm pretty sure I have babesia and i'm using only Art right now (with doxy/cat's claw/vitamins/jk), but have CSA coming and will add other things as i go along.

They are most likely are called cherry angiomas. Cherry angiomas occur due to hyperinsulinemia or bursts of insulin. Tracing it to the genes often shows a SOD2 mutation and a deficiency of copper and manganese. The body just can't handle much insulin secretion or easily processed carbs. They often occur from protozoal infections like babesia.
