IF Babesia duncanii the recommended treatment is 500mg azithromycin 1Xday plus Atovaquone liquid (Mepron) 1tsp twice/day with a high fat meal or snack.
Mepron can be had from manufacturer for free if you are poor like I am and some CVS pharmacies can sell the Azithromycin for under $150 per 30 days.
best wishes and good luck-hope I can help more-ask if you need.</p>

I live in NJ and regularly spent my summers down the shore exploring the pine barrens. My mother & I both battle chronic lyme( she had at home iv bags). I've been pretty solid for the most part since then I've only had a handful of relapses. Most recently 2 summers ago which put me out of Crossfit for 8 months and made me think I was actually losing my mind.</p>
<p>Funny back then my dr. put my mother & I on a "paleo" diet in conjunction with the meds and we still adhere to it today. </p>
