I was with an LLMD (Dr L in Dublin) for 8 months didn't make much improvement.

I'm now self treating with Rifampin & Azithomycin and some herbs..

When I started with Dr L I had absolutely terrible stretch marks.. they did go overtime but the following symptoms remain -

Strange head pressure mainly on left side, veins visable

Anxiety

Psych Symptoms - just don't feel 'normal'

Derealization

Often off balance

Feel like a slow down between brain / body communication (GP actually found Creatine Kinase to be 9x too high suggesting 'something' is irritating my muscles, been refered to rheumotologist for this)

Constant fog

Feel BRAIN DAMAGED, literally wake up feeling like ive been hit round the head with a spade

Very odd sleep, waking up in a sweat, very vivid dreams


To be honest I don't really have any pain but the Neuro / Brain Symptoms are what bothers me the most, it's going on 4 years now (im 24)..

Which infection would be causing the brain symptoms and how can I get rid of them?

I assumed it was Bartonella which is what i'm continuing to treat solo but any further help?

Thank you !!!

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have had some of those symptoms (anxiety, brain fog, slow brain/body communication, mild depersonalization, not feeling normal, balance and sleep problems and night sweats), and they improved somewhat with Lyme treatment and then more with babesia treatment. I think night sweats are definitely babesia for me, as they recur when I herx on Mepron.

Have you tried burbur and pinella? I have found those to help with neuro herxes.

Yes tried Burbur and Pinella but noticed no difference. Also tried Jernigans Neurotox II to no avail.

I'm taking Houttuynia and also a mixed tincture of Sida Acuta / Cryptoleptis which I believe is for Babesia?

Hmm!

make sure whatever you're taking crosses the blood brain barrier.

sad Well, burbur/pinella didn't really help me all that much until the infection load and inflammation were reduced.

Maybe try artimisinin for babesia? I don't know if you can take that with the abx you're taking.

Bartonella is what i suspect caused all these symptoms for me.

Any improvement for you now Nick?

I have had varying degrees of those same symptoms.

In addition to abx, a comprehensive herbal program and really staying away from wheat, grains, sugar, dairy.


Mine has gotten way better but I am still experiencing symptoms and should like another round of targeted abx.

I think these could be babesia symptoms. I've had some of the same symptoms, and starting to treat babesia always made the symptoms much worse (I think t was a herx), and then better again.

cause- I always think dental with brain symptoms. Being trapped an inch or two from the brain means the bacteria and their die off toxins can cause brain issues. Mercola.com posted a good article on this-I think its titles something about toxic root canals. I believe dr. Huggins wrote it
