RE the IVIG, I know of someone with LD (twice) who said that having IVIG is what really helped him function again. -BUT- personally, I'd be hard pressed to do that too, as it is pooled from thousands of blood donors. Yes, they say it is purified, yada....
Has abx had a helpful effect for you yet? You are still early in treatment, right? What abx have you tried & any success at all?
Hang in there & keep updating. We are on the journey with you!
I was just reading in Buhner's books that our blood supplies are often contaminated with Babesia since many people have asymptomatic infections....and there aren't tests available for all the strains.
I have no doubt this applies to other "stuff" we could do without.
If you'd like to share where you're at with your treatment....what you've done/are doing.... and let us know what you're hoping to accomplish, we'll gladly help you brainstorm.
It was because of the sharing on this forum that I think I'm in a better place had I not been here. The Lyme and Co's journey is a long one.....and it is quite individual-specific.
That's why sharing stories, theories, treatment strategies, etc. might "click" for someone....and prove to be a missing piece of the healing puzzle.
