have you ever been checked for Babesia. I had horrid fevers and sweats. My

first test for Babesia was negative, but second one highly positive. I now

take Mepron which has helped tremendously. I almost went nuts with those

sweats. Babs can be a sleeper disease and can come out at any time.

Good luck,

Connie - sorry I have been too ill ( with fever ) to check in -

thank you. They are making my life unbearable. I take Cipro and that

helps after a few days of treatment. But it's not from a Lyme doc

its from a urologist ( who is treating me for bladder irritation -

he thought it was that ).

I am not even sure where to begin looking - I was bitten by a tick

in Africa *in an area that is understudied in Lyme*

and was dxed with tick bite fever ( a common name in South Africa )

something alot of africans get. Then was given a common antibiotic

but the course may have been 'wrong' or not long enough.

I have been living this NIGHTMARE for 6 years now and am 31.

My brother and I both had it and now have similar symptoms. I wonder

if that strain is present in Antelope - lol, I have to laugh a

litte, at least my tick is from a exotic location...it's like a

little piece of that holiday in my forever...lol.

But Actually, how does one test for this? I am in Canada - I have to

figure out my own dx and treatments here - my doc doesn't know

enough, nor do the infectious dis. spec.

thanks for your input - which test showed this?

sincerely

Carmen

Carmen - where in Canada? Are you in Vancouver, by any chance? If so, I

can look up the name of a LLMD there whose name I've seen quite a bit.
