Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 My three year old has Lyme and co-infections and has been on Mepron and Azith. fr 1.5 years now (and Amoxicillin for a around 8-10 months). Yesterday and today he woke with pain on the sole of one of his feet. Today's pain was very bad -- and though it is easing as I type, he was in a lot of pain for a good 30 minutes. I am concerned that we have a completely new symptom 2 years after getting sick (he got infected summer of 08 and started meds Oct. 08). Does this mean the Babesia is getting worse and that maybe he should up his dose of Mepron (1/4 tsp)? Or is simply part of the healing process that symptoms come and go and it doesn't mean we need to do anything different. I have a call into our two lyme docs (Redwood city one and New Haven one), but any advice or reassurance would be appreciated. Aside from this new pain, he is completely asymptomatic while on meds (though the Lyme caused a huge speech problem, which we are addressing with 5x/wk speech therapy and fish oils). Thanks, Beth p.s. This is such an awful, awful disease and it just breaks my heart that two years into this illness I am seeing new symptoms. I am worried...
