I was wondering if anyone out there has babesia only.

I was biten in 1988 and dx 5 years later (1993) after 8 years of tx I was lyme free.

NOW after becoming increasingly ill the last 2 years, tested for co-infections and found positive for babesia. I'm on Mepron and Zithromax.

Any one else dealing with just Babesia?

Maggie, you may want to change your post title you have "anyone have just bart" I think you mean babs?

2001 symptoms started:

Tingling in fingers and toes both sides, not tested at that time for LD

2007 Summer tested pos. WB, diagnosed with LD, tested neg for co-infections thru Igenex

Abx - Doxy 100mg 2x/day for 3 weeks (before diagnosis)

Amoxicillin 1gm 2x/day for 1 month

Amoxicillin 1gm 3x/day with Probenecid 500mg 2x/day 5 months

Currently on Dr. Zhang's protocol

Did you not test pos for lyme? I just got tested for co infections and hope to God they come up with something so I can stop worry about ALS or other things that have been on my mind

King1234-
I was tested and positive for Lymes in 1993. At that time there was no thought about testing for all the co-infections. After I finished the meds for lymes (8 years!!), I was doing okay(still not back to were I was but not as down as I was). Then 2 years ago all this weird stuff started happening and no one could find what was going on, then I thought to go back to my LLMD who I haven't seen in 4 years. He thought I sounded like co-infections and sure enough = tests results showed babesia and NO lymes.
So I'm dealing with babs only right now.
I also hope you can come back with some results as to what is going on with your health. I think not knowing is in many ways harder then the actual disease sometimes.
Good luck King1234
