does anyone have ebv here along with Lyme? My main symptom is shortness of breath, and I do have babesia. anyone have any recommendations as to what might help with this symptom? I currently take Byron white formulas and a couple buhner herbs. Thanks in advance.

Are you currently treating Babesia? Getting that knocked down is the best way to help with the shortness of breath symptom. (Are you taking Buhner's babesia herbs along with Byron White for babs?)

for now, im not as consistent taking the herbals I was told by my doctor to take. he prescribed Byron White A-bab to me. But was scared to take because of the horrible herxes I experienced from taking 2 drops. Also, I have CSA but have been too scared to take as well because of herxing. I have had anxiety issues since 2014 knowing I had lyme and coinfections, but didn't do any type of treatment because of anxiety. I think I need to see a therapist.

rnbelle, I am so sorry. Anxiety is horrible and fear is such a part of it.

But, if you don't treat, you will not get well.

If you are having trouble with 2 drops, try 1 drop. We have some here that had to put 1 drop in an ounce of water and only take half of that. So they were only taking 1/2 drop. Save the other part for the next dose.

If you really don't want to treat right now, then you MUST detox. I am sure you have been here long enough to read the detox site - www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods

Getting your body ready for treatment is just as important as the treatment itself. Detoxing is helping those toxins get out of your body and believe me, we are exposed to many every day.

As for the anxiety... it is a part of lyme. Once I realized that, I searched until I found what helped mine. I did busy work and my anxiety was less. My husband, who also had lyme, his anxiety was relieved with physical work.

Search and you will find what lessens the anxiety. But definitely detox. Do one detox thing a day. In 4 days start and add to this another detox method. Keep on adding. This will help.

Also no junk food! Only good healthy choices.

peteza,
thanks for your reply! that helped me a lot. I actually detox by doing lemon water, taking sarsaparilla, milk thistle, and red root. I also do detox teas to help detox as well. Thank you for the recommendation of taking 1/2 a drop instead of 1. I will try that this week. I already work full time as a registered nurse, so yes im exposed to so many toxins everyday. I still try to live a normal life even with this disease, so I can already imagine how much better id feel if I would start treatment already! And as far as food, I try to eat as clean as possible! mostly fruits and vegetables with chicken as my main source of protein.

I don't have air hunger as often or as consistently as I used to, and I didn't know this trick when I did, so I don't know how well it will help. But, it helps me when I do get it occasionally now. It also helps with the anxiety I get as a result of feeling like I can't breathe.

It's a trick my biological dentist taught me. He told me to bring my lower jaw forward so that my lower teeth and upper teeth are aligned, and then to take a deep breath. He said apparently it helps bring the tongue forward and allows you get a deeper breath.

But definitely treating your Babesia is the long-term solution.

hi jasperilla,
thanks for your tip. I will definitely try that. did you also have babesia? And how long have you treated for? Thanks in advance

Yes, I have Babesia, I think it's probably the worst of my infections. I've been treating since 2015.
