I've been getting these episodes about once per month, of intense sinus pain in & around eyes, nose, & cheeks. At the same time, my neck on just the left gets super achy, sore, bruised feeling-up where the muscles attach to the skull. My head feels so groggy, foggy, achy. I can't hardly see due to blurry fuzzy eyes, and my eyes have sudden bouts of stabbing pain that comes-n-goes quickly.

Come to think of it, I've been getting these 'episodes' since stopping the herbal Lyme tincture, but my new ND is just focusing on babesia using cryptolepis & artimesia(I think it is?)

The pain is barely eliviated by ibuprofen and I had to just waste the day today doing nothing as I cannot hardly hold up my head, read or look at ANYTHING...

Ugh, so frustrating!

Sorry to hear of these issues!

Since you report them happening once/month, I was thinking Lyme but the symptoms also sound like Babesia.

Treating coinfections can make Lyme more vulnerable to treatment.

No matter what, it sounds like something is being hit during these times and it makes sense to increase your detox.

Hope things settle down soon!

Sweetpeas are you taking any abx's for any of the diseases? I ask because when I was feeling better my LLMD stopped the antibiotics and doubled my herbal tinctures that were targeting Babesia. I went downhill fast which told me the herbs weren't doing all that much on their own.

You may have a situation where herbals are not doing the trick. I know my body hasn't responded all that well to just herbals.

Just a thought: Since you stopped your Lyme herbals and are now noticing these symptoms, can you go back on the Lyme herbals while still taking the Babesia ones?

It could just be a Babesia herx though.

I'm trying to figure out if my symptoms are due to Babesia, myco, cpn, or virus too! My symptoms are different than yours and mostly involve the lungs.

We're all so different!

Good luck!

While herbs are certainly not for everyone, I would caution you that they are very similar to abx - switching to a different protocol may be all that's needed for them to be very effective.

I couldn't agree more.

Following the full Cowden protocol for almost 6 months after going off abx did nothing for me except to maintain the plateau I hit on abx. I herxed but no change in my symptoms.

Now that I'm following Buhner's Lyme, Babesia and Bartonella protocols for almost 4 months (and am not even up to anywhere near the recommended doses for the last two), I am finally experiencing improvements.
