hi Harry,

sorry you're suffering with that. I don't know the answer myself, but my son who has lyme was having some lower back pain this past week, so I'm curious if anyone does have any ideas.
When my son mentioned it I just figured it was a symptom, but maybe it could be toxic build up. hmm.

I think that is Bartonella? Mine has gotten a lot better

harry,

my son hasn't been tested for Bartonella, so we're not sure if he has it, but the llmd suspects it in him.
These are the symptoms she's told me seem like bart. in my son:

sore soles of feet (although she said this can also be babesia sometimes)
stomach aches
sore throats
(stomach and throat pain, she said, b/c bart. affects the lymph glands, and there are lymph glands in the throat and stomach too and they can become inflamed maybe, or something like that.)

and I've read somewhere that headaches in the forehead area are Bart.(may want to look that up to double check that)

and psych symptoms I've heard are often Bart. (anxiety, OCD, etc.)

now, I'm sure there are many more, but these are the ones I know by memory.

Hi Harry,

it's a long list with Bartonella symptoms.

Here are a few links:

Dr Schaller's book (free download) has symptom lists for Lyme, Bartonella and Babesia:

You can also find a list on top of the Lyme page, under 'New to Lyme? ... Start here!'.

My dr told me that the most common symptoms he sees are: anxiety, emotional instability, severe nightmares, difficulties moving the tongue, pain in feet, rib cage pain, stomach problems.

Lyme eats at the collagen and weakens joints. Lower back pain was always a problem for me from way back in my sports days, and especially early in my lyme dx. I was fortunate to find a Lyme literate holistic chiropractor who helped my with joint adjustments, muscle testing, cold laser treatments, and ionic footbaths for detox. I went religiously every week for over a year then phased down to every other week, then once a month for maintenance as my sx improved.

I later went back to work full time and could not easily schedule appointment, then stopped for about a year. Last January my lower back issues gradually returned and flared big time last month. I'm now seeing the doc for a couple weekly adjustments, and doing much better.

I can relate...lower back pain seemed to come out of nowhere about a year ago for me, I picked a piece of paper up off the floor and boom, I couldn't stand up straight or walk for about 4 days. XRays found nothing and it improved on it's own. I went to a chiropractor for a while. I still feel the pain almost every day though, sometimes just faintly. So I think I can probably add it to the Lyme list and maybe Bartonella per your suggestions.
