Sorry you're having such a tough time!
I don't think I'd add any new treatments until you get your current herx under control (that's what's happening when you feel like you're going to die)
Did your LLMD talk to you about
detoxing at all? (we've found that even some of the best LLMD's don't emphasize it enough).
You see, the bugs release toxins as part of their normal life cycle and that's what drives our symptoms. When treatment kills those bugs, the toxin load increases significantly - especially with Babesia treatment since Babesia parasites are the largest bugs that infect us. Larger bugs = more toxins = bigger herxes.
Here's some info about
toxins and our symptoms:

What I do hope you're able to read is this link on detoxing:
www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.htmlAnd, I hope you'll consider slowly starting a daily detoxing protocol and slowly add to it. Here's a link to a recent thread wherein members shared what they are doing for detoxing:
www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3602759While I'm not familiar enough with rife machines to give you advice about
one per se, I can tell you that people herx from that type of treatment....and that's why I suggested detoxing first.
Infrared sauna is a great method for detoxing since you sweat out toxins.
Things will get better - hang in.
