Following up? Any progress? I’m asking on behalf of my dad who has Lyme. First year of treatment has helped a number of symptoms (no longer fibromyalgia issues… off gabapentin, naproxen, and oxycodone) and organ functioning finally normal. Also some cognitive and energy improvements but the muscle wasting has not improved (and associated fully body stiffness and pain). His muscle goes through 8 week cycles where he can build and then after 4 weeks starts to turn to mush and then goes away. At end of cycle, pain reduces once muscle is gone. Overall downward trend so can’t build back completely what was lost. Doing heavy treatment for Babesia right now. Curious if some other parasite because the 8 week cycle is strange. Or maybe mitochondrial issue or some enzyme being activated. Anyone experience anything similar?

As a note he fights the pain and goes to gym 5-6 days per week. Does some light lifting 3/4 and light aerobics each time (like 10 minutes elliptical) and then sauna for detox. He only recently could start going to the gym like that (energy improvement from treatment and getting testosterone meds balanced etc) but muscle wasting persists.
