I will do a separate post on this as well: My ND doesn't want to treat Lyme first, as she thinks I may have Babesia. And she says Lyme often won't respond to treatment if you have Babesia.
But, I have thought about it...and I'm thinking maybe I should try and treat Lyme first...because if i get a good response...then maybe i dont' have Babesia...and won't have to take the treatment - I will be going on anti-malarial drugs if i have Babesia...along with Byron White stuff.
the ND wants to start with babesia treatment first...and while I understand her reason...I'm a little apprehensive..because aren't the ani-malarial drugs harder on the body than the abx?
Should I just go with what she says...I am quite the "control freak" and am having trouble just "goin with it".
Part of the problem is she doesn't have a lot of experience with Lyme disease - she is knowledgeable and is treating patients, but still not as experienced as i'd like.
