Car Rides & Symptom Exacerbation ?

[Guest guest]

Because of Lyme & Babesia, I am mostly housebound. I tried to go out for a

ride in the car tonight, very short ride and I could not believe how ill I

became. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I was burning all over, short

of breathe, blurred vision, dizzy, no balance. I could not believe how much

worse my symptoms became just for trying to enjoy a little ride around the

block this evening. Does this ever get better? It was horrible Any

insights or info on why this happens would be great, if anyone has

experienced it. I only go to the doctor every few months for blood work to

test and re-evaluate treatments (alternating weeks of Zithromax and Mepron

one week and then Flagyl the opposite weeka nd Lamasil on the weekends) and

it wasn't this bad last time.

Both exhaust and lawn chemicals can cause some of these symptoms,

especially if your ABX have cause a yeast overgrowth. You can have mold

in your car air conditioner or carpet. With the West Nile hoopla, many

communities are spraying heavily for mosquitoes. Ask your doctor if you

can take Dramamine or low dose of Benadryl (my daughter takes it about

1/2 hour before the car ride-Dramamine chewables work fastest). Hope

this helps.
