Babesia FISH Test

I know the labs are not a substitute for a clinical diagnosis, but my FISH test is negative. The rest of it reads:

Babesia Microti: IgM <20 IgG <40


Babesia Duncani: IgM <20 IgG 40


I guess regardless of the numbers, I think I read that over 90% of the East Coasters with Lyme also have Babesia, so maybe I do have it. I just wonder though, because I don't have flu-like symptoms, chills, or sweats. I did get some night sweats before my Lyme/Bart treatment, and maybe once a few months ago, but my main symptom form everything, as many of you already know, is chronic boat-rocking/swaying vertigo all day.

I just wonder if eventually taking Mepron or Malarone, or anything else, is something I should do if my major clinical symptoms don't, in my opinion, point to Babesia. Maybe they used to? I had bad heart palpitations for awhile, but they seem to have dissipated.

This is just my opinion, but I don't think an anti-protozoal like Mepron or Malarone would be beneficial. Your current problem is dizziness or boat rocking. That's a neurological side effect and comes from inflammation in the brain or at the very least, the inner ear. Mepron doesn't cross the blood brain barrier and wouldn't affect anything causing your current condition. Mepron was a wonder drug for me, but what I have came back. I did 4 months of Mepron and it wasn't enough. At $1250 a month, that gets rather pricey. You would be better served studying MTHFR mutations and determining which of your pathways is having problems eliminating the toxins.

Toddpaul do you know how much those tests are?

I also have vertigo 24/7...tests for Babesia and all coinfections are negative (even via Fry labs)...however, tests for the coinfections are just as (or even more so) problematic as Lyme tests...very inaccurate (high false-negative rate).
