So do i take the mepron and doxy? mepron 750/mg - i take 10ml twice a day doxy would be 2 100mg pills a day So do you think that would work girlie? I'll bring it up with my doctor tomorrow over the...
So i went back to the doctor after my ceftin was up. So the doctor told me to refill my mepron for another 30 days. Making two months in total and they put me on Doxy for 30 days too. 100mg twice...
Looking for an LLMD in Northern Virginia. Babesiosis treatment. Thanks....
I am experiencing shortness of breath. Should i be concerned about this?...
Reba, how long had you had the babesia before you started treating it? I too was diagnosed with babesia. So i want to know how long i should seek treatment. Since you have been treating it for 3...
"Typically, a three-week course is prescribed for acute cases, while chronic, longstanding infections with significant morbidity and co-infection will require a minimum of four months of therapy....
I have been cutting back on smoking. I'm down to less than half a pack a day. Is babesia life threatening?...
How do i find an LLMD? Thanks a lot. I'm going to talk with them when my ceftin is up. In the meantime, am i in any sort of life or death danger from the babesia? I'm 20 years old and i'm a smoker....
I do have an MD that is treating me now. I just don't think they understand how long to treat me. Because apparently from what i understand, babesiosis is not something that can be treated in a month...
Hello, so recently i was diagnosed with Babesiosis. The tick bites were received 4 weeks ago. Red swelling and itching. Slight bruising as well. Now, my doctor just prescribed me 30 days of mepron,...
I'm sorry, but this is just really bugging me. There's so much mixed information out there. I trust your input on the matter, in fact most of the people on this forum i trust. But i don't want to be...
But how do i know what my symptoms are if i'm on medication for them. I'm sorry, but this is a confusing process. All of my other results were negative too. So i suppose went through my 30 days of...
This is not a long lasting infection though. It has been about 3 weeks since i was bitten, so the infection is not far in yet. So i should probably just listen to my doctor and do the 30 days,...
All of the research i have done has said 7-21 days of treatment. How will i know if the treatment did not work either? How do i go about explain to my doctor that i'm not crazy because i read this...
30 days of treatment, 5ml of mepron, twice a day....
"• For ill patients, babesiosis usually is treated for at least 7-10 days with a combination of 2 drugs." Just read that on a document from the government of Maryland. I'm a bit confused by that......
My only symptom so far is just fatigue. It has not even been a month since the bites. What else should i notice from this? I don't feel too well, but i can't tell. Can i spread this to my partner...
Will the doctor know if i'm better or not? I doubt they will prescribe me 4 months worth of treatment. I'm wondering because i don't really notice any symptoms right now....
I eat probiotic yogurt daily. It is helping with the stomach. I believe the drug i will be taking is mepron. How long do i normally take this and how do i know if the infection is gone?...
Thanks a lot for the information. I feel slightly fatigued, that's about it. I've had the runs, but that's because of the antibiotic i think. They are having me continue ceftin, i'm going in for an...
Wait, so i have lyme? I thought babesia is just a malaria like parasite? I'm going to be taking anti-parasitic drugs i think. I'm going to get the prescription today. I'll post the name after i pick...
Well awhile back i posted about tick bites being red, inflamed and hurting. Came back positive for Babesiosis. What do i do along with the medication?...
Roger that. I should probably be taking some probiodics while on these for 30 days? I'm on my first day of treatment and my stomach is all messed up. No diarrhea, just an upset stomach....
The doctor suspects it could be lyme, but is not sure. They ran a tick panel for all sorts of stuff. Due to the fact that i go out in the sun very often because of my work. Plus the amount of fishing...
Update: Won't be able to see the doc until 2:45 tomorrow. I'm feeling pulsing pain in what seems to be my calf muscle. This is a new side effect....
Thanks for all the info. I'll keep you posted....
Yeah the bites are decently warm. They were a lot warmer yesterday. But i took ibuprofen and benadryl last night and it helped on the swelling. The bites are swelling at least two inches away from...
I don't take any sort of herbal medications. But i must say something is messing with my iummune system. I've gotten a lot of mixed opinions on tick bites. Some articles say swelling is normal along...
What do you think about the bites? Do they look abnormal?...
http://imgur.com/Hp2lNOp Those are the bite marks. They itch from there to all the way down to my ankle. The swelling has gone down a bit. It's been about 3 days since the tick was on me. I can't...
I got bitten by a tick the other night while i was in bed sleeping. It looks to have bit me 3 times and then it latched on. I woke up and removed it. It's been about 4 days now. My leg is extremely...
Oh i'm sorry. I did mean to say my CD57 was 74. Not CD4, my apologies. Okay, thanks a lot. That's the test i'm going to get then....
Do you know the exact details of bands the basic igenex test does? It is the IFA test by the way, not sure what that means though. Yeah, the CD4 was almost low. I still think 74 is concerning and it...
I went to doctor and got a WB test done. (CDC) I was positive for P66 and P41 bands. Nothing else was positive. She said my CD4 was low for my age. It was 74, I'm a healthy 20 year old male. 5'11,...
I just read this article about the Igenex test. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/23/health/policy/unproved-lyme-disease-tests-prompt-warnings.html?_r=0 "Doctors who tested Mr. Courcier in March at the...
I'm in just about the same boat you are. I got bit by a ton of ticks two years ago. Had weird shit happening to me on and off. I had this problem where i was really itchy all over my body. No rash...
Marijuana and Cannabis are the same thing. They both contain CBD and THC. They just separate the CBD from the THC for medical use. THC gets you high and CBD does not....
My heart does skip a beat from time to time i think. I'm not really sure what that's supposed to feel like. I think i have a hard time retaining information too. Reading is a task and i can't tell if...
Over this summer i had a random case where i itched all over and i had no rash. I went to the doctors and they said to quit the dry cleaner i worked at because of the chemicals. I didn't have an...
Can't you just treat it with antibiotics rather than herbs? Thanks for the response. Also, how do you know lab corp does not use the right methods? Is there proof of this?...
I'm starting to think you all just care about selling the Igenex Lab Test. Sponsorship?...
There's one symptom on that list that says "Chills and/or shakes when hungry (may occur instead of feeling hungry) Cold hands and feet" Yes i get cold hands and feet. Yes, i get chills or shakes when...
It's been so long i can't remember what i felt like before i got bit a bunch of times. So i wouldn't know. I do feel ill from time to time. A fatigued ill, with swollen glands. Then it goes away. I...
I see, now all of these would stay with you if you had them 6 weeks after? It's been two years, im nervous i wont be able to tell if i have anything. The doctor can take blood there for the test...
I read that whole page and the symptoms on there are very broad. I could be experiencing any of those. I'm not sure what to feel if i have it. It has been two whole years and i cant remember feeling...
About two years ago during spring turkey season i was reluctant to wear bug spray. I got bit by so many ticks and i'm not sure if i should have this checked out or not. It's been two years and i...
