Re: Rickettsiosis ???--so confused

[Guest guest]

Thanks nelly, I appreciate the explanation...Then if there are all

these different types of illnesses...then obviously some abx will

help certain illnesses and not help others yes?

It is very nerve racking..especially since i have started have some

chest pains..not so much past two days..and a tight chest..i don't

overexert myself because i run out of breath. I guess that is one of

the problem of tick illnesses...one could be destroying very

important organs..and even if your on abx, it might not help because

the certain strain may not respond to the particular abx? I could

just be freaking out a bit because my latest symptoms is in my chest

area...which is very scary. Most of you have this particular symptom?

Babesiosis and babesia are the same thing and yes, it could involve chest

pain.

Do you have chills/fevers/night sweats/ stomach/ fatigue/shortness of breath?

PCR blood test sent to IGENEX LABS only.

Is there another b one that they test for....babesioisis or something

like that? is that the same as babesia?

someone told me they don't usually pcr for that...so i probably

haven't been properly tested...babesia does the chest pains?

i am going to an llmd next week..so hopefully we can check that out!
