i had episodes of being weak and shaky, many times upon waking and then it would pass.

since starting babs treatment, i have gotten much shakier/weaker and now it is all day each day. has anyone experienced something similar? did it eventually pass?

thx!!

***in good health, jen***

I can not answer about the herx. But my disease does the same. And sometimes it doesnt go away for days, weeks.

So it sounds like your illness is acting up or you could be herxing...

Toss a coin and call heads or tails.. Smile

Have you spoken to your LLMD?

My husband started hurting like crazy (bone pain), his blood pressure dropped where he would get dizzy, etc....

I contacted his Dr. and he told him to stop the mepron?azith. for 3 days and then start back. Maybe you need to do that, too! Give your body a bit of a break.

i did back off a little bit, but it doesn't go completely away. tonight i don't seem to have it but for the past few weeks i have had it a lot of the day along with more rapid pulse (around 100).

my doc knows and suggested glutathione, fish oil, and dark chocolate as well as easing my schedule this few days (but not going off completely)

Well, hubby has only been off today. He will stay off 3 days and start back on Monday.

We will have to see if it calms things down.

Hope things get better for you! And us too!

He has been on azith. for a couple of months.

Dr just added the Mepron after our last vist 10 days ago.

He felt that his bone pain was caused by babesia.........

He said that it can get in the bone marrow.
