Hi everyone, pretty much everything is summed up in my reddit post. I found it very difficult to post images here so I used reddit and imgur. Please let me know your thoughts!

I can't see the images, possibly because I do not have a reddit account, but reddish streaks that appear on adults tend to be bartonella henselae. We'd be happy to hear more about your symptoms, chat about treatment options, etc. Many people test negative for these infections despite actually having them, as the tests are unreliable at best. Good luck!

yeah I messed up on posting the images. I would love if you all could see them. Its almost difficult to write how extensive of a journey this has been, and how much my life has been flipped upside down. However, im excited for it to get back to normal. My goal right now is to get a second opinion. Ive been silently on this site for about a year now, and I trust everyones opinion here as much as do regular docs when it comes to bartonella. FYI im in the medical world as well. I'll work on getting the images accessible. Thanks!!

Bartonella is very hard to diagnose. I initially had a negative antibody and PCR test despite having symptoms. After taking antibiotics, I finally got a positive PCR test from DNA Connexions.

I can see them - no Reddit account.


Wow - those are classic bart marks. exactly what I see when I google 'bartonella rashes"


Holy moly....

No doubt whatsoever you have bartonella...no Dr should deny it.

How crazy is that! I appreciate everyone’s feedback and anyone else who would like to chime in. Feel like I should be on a poster for typical bartonella rashes ****. If anyone would like to hear my story, id love to share, but it is lengthy. I hope this is the beginning of getting everything back to normal. Much love

bigpoppa - please do share your story with us. You can start a new thread....or just continue with this one.



If it's a long story.... then try to break it up into paragraphs - makes it easier for those of us with lyme brain to read it.
