Just finished my appt. with Dr. M. I'm starting up abx today, or adding in my combo slowly. I voiced all my concerns about having babesia and treatment not progessing.He said if I don't improve or if I have different symptoms he would change my protocol in 2-3 months . He says he doesn't believe leaving ppl on abx for more than 6 or 7 months with no improvement because obviously something isn't working or were missing something. He did say some ppl are told to treat lyme, bart, and mold and still months of no progress, so he looks at babs during the 1st 2-3 month based on certain symptoms that increase or decrease and new symptoms. I feel a little more confident now, thank God. He told me to add the bactrim in slowly with my azithro and see how my body takes it. Azithro made me have heart palps, lip and eye twitches and some type of equilibrium or balance issues after the 3rd day. Bactrim just knocked me on my *** and I was just sooooo exhausted ready to sleep . I'd much rather feel exhausted than to experience other things like increase in anxiety or other bad herx symptoms tbh. Im super nervous because it been having hard nausea and some bad chest pressure after 3rd day on zithro. I hate when I feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest. Anyone else experience this, if so on what abx?

I found that the babesia protocol was effective against other things. In particular, mepron hits bartonella and mold.

So the babesia protocol worked for me, but the reality is, it wasn't really treating babesia, but bart and mold. I don't know if I really had babesia or not.
