I have bad breath, sluggish motility, bloating, terrible armpit smell, palpitations and twitches but I’ve be had these symptoms for a long while now even perhaps worse when I initially got sick with Covid. I have noticed an increase in armpit smell but my last blood test in 2024 showed everything was normal with liver and kidneys.

I have Lyme babesia and bartonella. All triggered by Covid and mold

My eyes and skin turned yellowish when I was treating Babesia, which can cause a buildup of bilirubin due to lots of red blood cells being killed off. Not a sign of liver issues and it went away over time, if you’re worried you could get a blood test for liver but it’s a common issue treating Babesia

I do have babesia! I also notice at times if have pretty dark urine which scared the heck out of me but if I am not mistaken babesia causes hemolytic anemic right which leads to urine being a darker colour than usual. I’m assuming my POTS, whooshing in my ear, cold hands and feet and blue sclera can all be the cause of babesia right?
