So sorry you are suffering with this!

I dont know anything specific to help with the air hunger symptoms.

Are you doing enough to detox? Flushing out the toxins will help alleviate the herx symptoms.

(I know you know this.., just a gentle reminder)

I tend to want to just curl up in a ball and not do anything when Im suffering with herx symptoms - but that doesnt help at all. When I force myself to do something - like an epsom salt bath and take my Pinella and Burbur - I start to feel better.

Hang in there!

If its too much, you could back off on your abx for a couple of days.

No abx just a herbal tea my doctor makes me along with the buhner proctol for Lyme bab and Bart all together idk if it's too much I rise like 19 herbs a day 3x a day

Try decreasing your babesia herbal dosages, perhaps to 1/2 of what you are taking now, for a while, especially the antimicrobial ones - CSA and bidens.

CSA produced a big babs herx (air hunger, sighing etc.) for K. As soon as I decreased the dosages the air hunger stopped. As long as you have some amount of these herbs going, protozoa are being killed off. Easy does it - you don't have to bomb them.

If your doctor is using Buhner's recommended dosages for your treatment know that THEY ARE WAY TOO HIGH. Everyone is different, with different bacterial loads and with different detoxification abilities. That's why you need to start with perhaps only a single drop of a tincture or 1/16 tsp of powdered herb.

For us, bidens caused a dizziness herx; no air hunger. Though you may be different.

Do you know what is in the herbal tea?

The problem with starting these Dr driven protocols, is that they tend to want you to start everything at once. You can't do that. Herxing become unbearable and you don't know what is causing it because you started with large doses of everything.

If you aren't comfortable with decreasing the dosages in your doctor's protocol, I would decrease from taking it 3x daily to 2x daily. It was a long time (almost 1 year) before K could handle taking CSA 3x daily. We stayed at 2x daily for that year and still saw significant improvement.

So sorry you're suffering so much!

I must admit I was blown away to read your post on another thread wherein you mentioned being on the Buhner protocols for Lyme, bart and babs since late June.

I just started titrating the Lyme and babs protocols earlier this month and I'm only up to 3 drops each of Cryptolepis, Sida and Alchornea....and that's because I've had to back down on the doses twice with last night being the 2nd time.

Please consider taking some form of rowingmom's advice.

And, without a doubt, increase your detox....a lot.

Hope you feel better soon!
