I'm wondering if I have babesia. I have been in treatment for lyme and bartonella for over a year. 6 months into treatment I started getting new symptoms such as hot flashes and periods of air hunger. I just feel so warm all the time, and I get chills all over my body whenever I'm out in the cold now, too. These symptoms still haven't gone away. Is this Babesia? Or another co-infection?

The reason I ask is because a year ago I was on Artemesia Annua for a few months along with antibiotics, I read that this does actually treat Babesia. (I didn't know at the time) is the Artemisia by itself not enough to treat babesia?

Air hunger is a symptom of Babesia. I have also have the chills off and on. Night sweats , head pressure can be Babeisa.

However many symptoms can and do overlap between all the infections.

Do you recall if you had an increase in chills, heating up, and air hunger when you used Artemesia? Herxing?


Not everyone is healed easily from Babesia and many llmd's treat Babesia for a long time to be sure.

I have taken malarone for 4 months,, the full Buhner babeisa herbal protocol for 1 1/2 years and then pulsed Artemisinin for a month or so and still have had Babeia symptoms.

So I would be sure to consult with your llmd or practitioner about more treatment if you are still having Babesia type symptoms.

There is a great FB Babesia site and the members there are knowledgeable and supportive.

I hope you get some relief soon take care.

I second goshawk; air hunger, head pressure and night sweats are highly indicative of Babs.

goshawk, how are you doing now? did you manage to get rid of babesia or put it to rest? Im 7 months in babesia pops up every now and then. Difficult to tell whats working.
