I am still barely functioning after trying 2 drops of a-bart over 2 months ago. The fatigue and burning in my body is unreal. The moment I try any sort of vitamin ( b , vitamin C etc.) or try any detox like a sauna my sxs get much worse. I am super sensitive to light and sound and I'm having trouble walking my dog without feeling like I'm going to faint. I haven't been able to exercise in over 2.5 months. Since getting sick over 2 years ago I have never been this bad.

Prior to trying bicilling followed by a-bart and glutathione IVs I was taking barre classes at my gym almost everyday. I had days where I was almost functioning at 80% now I feel like I can barely get to work. I am so depressed and discouraged and don't know what to do. My doctor doesn't know what to make of me either. Do I focus on diet and stay away from ALL supplements? I am so scared I've don't permanent damage.

I should also note I have never had a positive igenix test so I don't even know if I have lyme. I feel like I'm toxic and poisoned everyday. Please help.

Darling, can you focus on diet AND continue your supplements at the same time?

Are you still on the a-bart or did you give it up?

I'm having the some of the same difficulties at the moment and wondering if it's Babesia, or if my nervous system is damaged.

Sauna can cause trouble for some, due to the prolonged heating of the body. It's making your herx it looks like. Can you down grade to some less aggressive methods like epsom foot soaks, lemon water, binders, dry skin brushing...that sort of thing? Are you taking any liver support?

If you haven't stopped the A-Bart - I think you should.

You need to have these symptoms ease up some...

Are you seeing a Lyme Literate Dr.?

I only ever took two drops of a Bart and haven't taken it since which was over 2 months ago . The two drops caused me to almost seizure and I started night sweats like you wouldn't believe which still haven't stopped . I'm seeing a llmd but I don't know if I trust him anymore . I try to take my support supplements (b complex , c , charcoal) but immediately become so fatigued . I think my body is in constant fight or flight . I'm wondering if I should just stop everything for awhile ... I am super super sensitive .

Sometimes detoxing can even be too much...

It can release too much into our blood stream for us to handle.

Keep drinking lots of water...and I think the charcoal should also be continued.

What is your LLMD saying about this?

My llmd thinks I need to take a break from treatment but thinks supplements should be okay. He barely remembers my case when I speak to him. I'm thinking of taking a good 90 days off everything . It's been two years of constant treatment and I think I need to see how I feel without anything . My muscle aches are already improving somewhat since stopping abx... it's just the burning and fatigue that worries me ... gonna focus on diet / juicing Etc. does that make sense ?

I know what you mean. You want to know what your 'baseline' is.

I recently had 11 days off...and several of them were quite a bit better than when I'm on treatment.

The burning worries me too. (I get that a lot)

Hi, Im SUPER extremely sensitive also. My Dr.thinks im hyper-methylator VS sluggish. For example I cannot take SAMe because it forced my body to methylate too hard.

I did fine on doxy last Aug-Oct, but then when I switched to amoxicillin I couldnt handle it. Then I attempted to do the nasal spray BEG to go after the MARCons, but NOPE it resulted in horrific headaches that continued for 7 days AFTER stopping the nasal spray.

My 1st round of treatment in 2014-2015 was just herbal tinctures which were tolerable, but then 2016 switched to pharmaceuticals and my body does NOT like them...

Ive taken a break for 90 days now, and honestly feel better just focusing on detoxing!!!

Yes perhaps you can just focus on things that support your body. That's really awful that 2 drops did that to you and the fact that you felt 80% before. It sounds like it triggered a deeper layer of something, but what?

Have you thought about retesting with another company? It seems as though people have a positive test after treating. I mean if you really are trying to get a baseline.

You may also want to look at Dr. Jernigan's formulas as they work with your body to heal and overcome bacterial, virus, fungi, etc issues.

Darling,

I also had harsh reactions to A-Bart and A-Bab. I'm currently on 1/2 drop of A-Bab ONLY and I'm working my way VERY SLOWLY to A-Bart. They kick my booty. My LLMD told me that some people don't ever go up to the recommended doses or stay low for a long time. I'm super bummed about it too. I was on the couch, hardly able to move. I full stopped all Lyme killing herbs and am starting again slow. Getting the detox rhythm is key and it's different for everyone. When the A-bab starts messing me up, I back off for a day or so. Take it slow, back off when you need to. Take it slow. You might just be like me, very sensitive.
