Hi there,

It has been a while since I last posted. I have been using lots of herbal stuff. My dream would to have no leg pain anymore. The past few months I have felt less burning and leg pain below the knees but no change in pain around the knees.

about half way down the front of my thighs to my knees it feels like they are extremely bruised and painful to the touch. Also down the backs of my thighs. Does anyone else have this symptom?

Hi pixel!

It is not uncommon if you are targeting an infection for other ones to come out. Often these bacteria/pathogens are in competition with each other so when one pathogen is removed or being treated effectively...the other pathogens say "Wahoo, party time!"

Is it possible that you have another co-infection like babesia that might be starting to come out now? My doctor said painful calves and thighs he attributes to babesia.

It seems I have Bartonella. When this illness really came out I remember having red streaks at the top of my arms and on my stomach. They are not there now though, 4 years later.

Same here OnePixel. Once I had Lyme under control, Bartonella took over and I started to have leg symptoms just like what you described. I have been treating Bartonella for a week so it may be too soon to see improvement yet.

As for the streaks, two of them appeared on my face at around the time that I started to feel the Bartonella symptoms. They are about a half inch long, one on each side of the face, horizontal, and they are dark brown, not red.

I am about to start trying turmeric as others have suggested. I feel like giving up to be honest. I feel like I will never get any pain relief in my legs to live a normal life. The only time I ever get relief is if I am on prednisone for asthma issues.

I'm also having leg pain issues. It is one of the few symptoms that my treatments haven't even seemed to touch.

:( I'm sorry pixel! Don't give up. Lots of folks do have to treat for some time. Heck, I'm happy treating indefinitely as long as I'm as good as I am now. I'm not even at 100% but I function like it. And I do almost all of the things I would do otherwise, maybe more!

Sometimes when we get discouraged or feel like our plan isn't working it might be time to try a new path or a new physician. I know it gets frustrating. I still wake up sore in the AM so I'm going back on herbals shortly.

Turmeric is great. I used it for a short period of time and many other have gotten good relief from it. How is your treatment progressing?

Thank you for the support :-)

pixel,

Very sorry to hear about your leg pain. I hope you get relief soon.

Reading about the leg pain, I am wondering if drinking tonic water, with its quinine, would possibly help? Or taking CINCHONA OFFICINALIS (quinine) in supplement form?

This is known to help with many health issues, from leg spasms to helping regulate heart rhythms. Might be worth researching further. I will be.

Anyone have first hand knowledge on this one: CINCHONA OFFICINALIS?

Thank you
