Questions about Bart

I never had a bart like streaks until I treated Bart - and then what showed up was so faint - not sure if it even was the bart streaks.

I’ve had all sorts of other rashes though.

Re: ears. Only thing I had was pulsatile tinnitus - and it resolved on Babesia treatment.

Re: lymph nodes.

I had one swollen and sore clavicle lymph node that went away with Bart treatment.
While treating bart another one showed up behind my right ear - lasted only a couple weeks at most,

Bart gave me bone pain.... I had tailbone pain for about 2 years.
Bart treatment got rid of that.

I also have rib issues with bart.
Used to get the “MS hug” now and then. Felt like I had vice grips squeezing my ribs - made it hard to take a deep breath.
Lasted a day or two each time.

Now my ribs on my front hurt sometimes but nothing too severe.

I think my symptoms are/have been predominantly bart - I suspect I had a smouldering bart infection since I was a child - maybe 4 or 5 years old... and my immune system took care of it for the most part - until 2013 after a few years of high stress with my father’s health coupled with my stressful job and possibly a tick bite set it off. (Did not have evidence of a bite or an EM rash)

I treated Bart from end of August, 2015 for approx a year and a half.
(After treating lyme only for about 6 months.
Many of my symptoms resolved during that time - but then I
plateaued.
I self treated Babesia for several months and then I went to the Jemsek clinic starting in Feb2018

When I was treating lyme with abx, I did add in some Buhner bart herbs for several months..
I didn’t have much - if any improvement during that time .

I treated Bart with abx and made good progress

I have ear pain/buzzing when I herx. I just don’t know if I should just treat or be tested to find out for sure.

I edited my previous post

After treating bart with abx for over a year I saw a different LLND and she suggested I do a pcr test here in Canada - an unknown lab. Because the tests didn’t cost a lot I went ahead with it.
($125 per infection - blood and urine pcr)
Bart was positive - DNA of bacteria in my blood.

At that point I treated for a while longer - then I self treated Babesia (after learning that DrJ treats everyone for Babesia early on.)

Then I decided to go to Dr J and after about 5 months with him, I was put on the Persisters protocol and that’s where I’m at - one more month of that and I’ll go to maintenance - not symptom free yet but closer. Have a couple symptoms that are bad and a few that are tolerable.
