 I have been soooo thirsty the past few days.. i have already been tested for diabetes and thyroid...

i have an inquenchable thirst.. i should note i have babesia, bart, and lyme... anyone have this?? i just drank 3 water bottles in 15 minutes..

i also got my biweekly blood work today... my eos was high ( a 12, normal is 0-7) .. also my bun/creatine ratio was 34 and normal was 0-27

any insight? (waiting to hear from dr)

Eosinophilia can occur due to allergies, parasitic infection, medication side-effects, and some other conditions. Any of these conditions can increase thirst. Did they check your electrolytes (potassium, sodium, etc.)? Any abnormalities there? Any recent medication and/or supplement changes?

Take care,

Sodium and postassium are in normal range.. the only other thing out of range is Eos... I added samento and the 2 weeks before the test up until the day before, I had been on malarone... (switched from mepron)..The day before the test, I switched back to mepron because of bad headaches

Elevated BUN can be a sign that your body is not hydrated well, makes sense where you are always thirsty. Be careful drinking TOO much water as your electrolytes can get out of balance.  D

Babesia, Lyme, and probably other coinfections can cause elevated eos, I wonder if you're herxing...or having a flareup...due to the medication change and samento...

I am thinking I am in fact herxing... I also have horrible dry and cracked lips.. common?
