My LLND went over my igenex labs with me today. I had the co infection panel which resulted with negative for all except HGA, which was 40. She said the infection is acute, meaning recent. So I'm confused because I had my rash over 15 months ago. I don't recall having a fever or bad headache or any of the symptoms common with anaplasmosis. In fact my first symptom was 4 months after the rash, next was insomnia a couple months later including night sweats when I got sleep, then anxiety a couple months later, then vision distortion (dyslexia) approx a year after the rash. Now, 15 months later along with everything else, it's stabbing pain behind my eyes. Everything I'm reading doesn't seem to fit the timing like mine. Does anyone have a good anaplasmosis site you can refer me to? The good news is I get another month of doxy and a new abx, rifampin, plus some Chinese herbs and a lot of other supplements.

I'm still on the lookout too. Everything I find on it is either from the CDC or about the disease in animals. It's doesn't seem to be one of the popular co-infections. I also tested positive and even got a call from the dept. of public health. My LLMD told me I tested positive for antibodies but not a active infection. But I still feel like crap and am on my 4th month of abx. LLMD said doxy is what's used on anaplasma, but I'm still on amoxcillian since my doc says I'm responding well. I'm hoping she switches me when I see her at the end of the month or put me on herbals.

It's weird how there isn't much out there about it. Cheetahjade, are your symptoms similar to mine?

I've read that a tetracycline like Doxycycline or Minocycline, along with Rifampin, has been used for difficult cases, as well as intravenous Doxy.

I have an acute infection from it, having been bit by a tick in September, while I was in my 6th month of Lyme treatment. I did experience a severe reaction to it after a 3 week preventative course of Doxycline ended, and it is not something you want to go through.

I felt like I was nearing death, with my legs getting stiff, really weak, chills, fever, sniffles, headache, and nauseous for nearly a week, though not throwing up. Typically, it shouldn't be this bad, although David Letterman

got it back in 2009 and said it was worse than recovering from his quadruple bypass surgery. Mine was probably so bad from a compromised immune system after being on 6 mos. of ABX at the time of the bite.

I'm on Minocycline for it now, along with Omnnicef, Bactrim, and Tindamax for Lyme, Mepron for Babesia, and Houttuynia and Lakato for Bartonella.

Stephen Buhner's new book should be out by next spring:

Natural Treatments for Lyme Coinfections: Anaplasma, Babesia, and Ehrlichia

His associate Julie McIntyre will most probably be able to give you the protocol:
