Vertigo

[PIK]

I have my full history euder the post entitled Rheumatologist Visit. I was feeling ill and had an ASO of 1500 and was started on 3 times per day 500 mg penicillin for 10 days and then once a day for three months. Aside from peeing a lot, I seem to have a slight feeling of vertigo/inbalance. The strep seems to be in my ears or mastoids. Also, the back of my neck is achy. It almost feels like I have meningitis, but I know I don't because I'm not really photophobic, and I'm still alive. Has anyone else experienced any of these symptoms - peeing a lot, vertigo, and achy/stiff neck?

Yes, I have/had these symptoms and they are predominately related to Babesia infection. The back of neck/achy feeling almost makes it difficult to hold up my head up and is typically followed by fatigue. The dizziness, vertigo, inbalance is also another strong indication of Babesia.

 

I attribute the urinary issues and frequency to low level infections. When I applied for life insurance policy prior to diagnoses several years ago, in my urine they found an excess level of red and white blood cells which typically indicates chronic infection or cancer. I my case it was infection.

 

I highly recommend testing for Lyme via Advance Labs once off antibiotics. If there are indications of Lyme then pursue co-infection testing.

DD had all these symptoms, resulting from a lyme/bartonella infection. Her neck pain was at the base of her skull.
