For those who have gotten better or close, how long did it take? I've been treating with ABX since March and while my wife thinks I've made progress it doesn't feel like enough to me. Still foot pain when walking, feet/ankles veiny, and spine pain. Just getting frustrated.

kinda depends on how long the infections have been rooted ...burrascano says treatment for neurological and cardiac involvement may last 12-18 months... personally ive had lots of gains 4 yrs later but maybe having to treat for life . some stuff like the subcutaneous muscle and fat in my feet may not be coming back... are veins larger or did tissue around em shrink? take measurements now and in a few weeks ... the alternative health model says something like 1month of ft treatment for every year spent sick... i felt more normal after 25 month of tx, vertigo went away after 9months in... keep at it -establish rotating routines, grab ur bootstraps +dig in for a long haul ...

I’d say after 4 1/2 years I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

But - it could have been sooner if I had a LLMD who treated Babesia.
I was with a LLND for a few years first who ignored Babesia.

Edit: I did “lose” many symptoms in the first couple years but still had several left and didn’t feel “well” when I switched over to my current llmd.

Where/how do you measure? I think the veins have enlarged, but who knows.
