Rifampin and minocycline/update

Does anyone have experience with a minocycline rifampin combo??

Just saw me llmd after experiencing major nerve pain in my legs or the past two weeks. She said bartonella could be the issue and is adding rifampin along with minocycline.

She said to stop the flagyl for now. She also has me taking neurontin for the nerve pain. I hope I get some relief!!!

Hopefully I don't have permanent nerve damage!

She did day it's possible that this can go away which makes me feel better.

Thanks for listening :)

I have taken this combo three times. I never was a fan of rifampin and hated being put on it. I always experienced stomach aches and pains and was very, very hungry for only carbs. No fruits and veggies I just wanted bread. It also caused bloating. It does turn your urine red and after a few weeks it would hurt when I would pee. Like a burning sensation when you empty the full bladder. It would burn towards the end of emptying if that makes sense.
I didn't mind the minocycline. I think the combo is great and obviously it did work, my LLMD said the craving carbs was a herx, killing bart (I think) in my intestines. These were the last two meds I was on before stopping meds two months ago. I have been symptom free for two months and feeling good so far.
