I was diagnosed with Lyme, bart, & babesia about 2 months ago. I've had it now for 2 years I believe & ive had so many symptoms. At first when I started reading about Lyme I thought it was a fit with me & I had pulled numerous ticks off of me before feeling bad. I'm from Kentucky btw. Not really a Lyme state.
I don't really know what to ask, but I guess I just want some opinions from those who have Lyme so maybe I feel somewhat better I guess.
I've been treating bartonella now a little over 2 months. i know I'm not gonna wake up feeling 100% again & I know it's gonna be a long process. My doctor seems to think 3 weeks of antibiotics for the bart & I should start to feel some change. 3 weeks past & I couldn't tell a difference but I noticed some things. Around day 5 of taking the antibiotics I think I may have noticed my first herx.
My daughter had just been diagnosed with the flu & that night I began thinking I was coming down with it too. I was real achy, headache, & muscl more fatigue. The next day I felt those symptoms were gone. Just a bit of a headache so I figured it was a herx & not the flu.
Around day 8 & 9 I felt like I had more energy then usual but after those 2 days it went away. & ever since then I haven't felt a change. I don't really know how much better I should expect to feel since I'm just treating the bart right now.
Also my diagnosis was clinically. Although my western blot came back just 23 band igg positive I have done some reading and seen where it can only be reactive because of Lyme.
Like I said I don't really have a straight forward question for you all, I just want some opinions and anything will help.
I would really appreciate it!
