Length of Babesia Herx

I have tried to start CSA twice in the past, but was unable to continue due to the incredible herxing. I experienced extreme malaise, exhaustion, derealization, and brain fog. I now feel as though I have made a significant dent in my borrelia and candida, and believe that if I can just get over this hump, I will be much better.

I started CSA again last week, and am back to feeling awful. How long did it take for you to get over the initial herx period for babesia, regardless of which medicine was used?

I was still herxing on Babs treatment with Mepron 5 months in..by 7 months it had lessened some.

I'm not sure how much was herxing and what I could attribute to side effects - if anything .

You're taking 6 pills a day? That's a lot.

My symptoms that increased while on Mepron: sweating, shivering, got some anxiety back that was previously gone, crazy head pressure behind my eyes...even affecting my vision a bit.


I did read one of the side effects of mepron is sweating. BUT is that because many people who take it maybe herxing from babesia and sweating...and it's NOT really a side effect.

For me a warm Epsom salt bath helped.
And sleep
