[ ] post babesia behavior-OMG!!!

I have posted this update to another board (lyme treatments) but I

also wanted to share it with this group.

I can only hope and pray that with long-term treatment we will see

long term success and others have similar results. Here are the

differences in behavior after 3 weeks of Mepron/Zithro:

Her energy level is through the roof. It's very qualitative. She

was on the far side of our yard and wanted to " run back to the house

to get a shovel " that never would have happened before.

She is able to GIVE affection rather than always needing affection.

She's sleeping in her bed all night > 50% of the time instead of 0%

of the time.

She is able to control herself. Several times yesterday she started

a whinny " mommy . . . " I said " what " and she answered " I'm not going

to say it " That never happened before.

She wants me to teach her letters. She's counting up to twenty for

fun.

She's not crying and begging to be put to bed at 7:30 but instead is

twirling in front of the mirror singing herself a song about how she

loves nightgowns.

She's given up eating Otios and Spinach Munchies -- her main diet for

almost two years. She eats with gusto and almost always wants the

first thing I offer her.

I am not walking on egg shells. She is hugging her little brother

and trying to take care of him.

She is able to watch " scary movies " like Ice Age. She is able to

look at " scary " pictures of bugs and dinosaurs.

In addition, the myalgia has faded. No join pain, no headaches,

no eye pain. But she still has abdominal pain.

We don't know about burning urination because she is still on a sugar

free diet and sugar does seem to radically affect her urinary

symptoms.
