thanks ICU, I started my second round of prazi today and was thinking I will skip albendazole for time being. As far as other symptoms go - I was diagnosed w Lyme + babesia and bartonella. I have general inflamation throughout my body and bad tendon/ joint pain. I have horrible pain in my ankle that feels like a sprain but is not. The pain was bad when I started prazi the first time, and within a day the pain was gone, which I found interesting. I'm also experiencing a difference mentally and feel much more level headed. My knees crack/pop hurt (always) and I've experienced a reduction in this as well. I am currently doing Kerri Riveras protocol, so am taking CD daily. Would the NAC interfere with this? Thanks so much for all your info. I'm wondering, could Tapeworm cause any of my listed problems (including liver/fevers etc.)? I have wondered abt that bc when I was very sick I had severe food cravings, which seem to be much different (improved)after taking prazi. Would love your input.
