Beat bartonella.....lyme symptoms appear ?

Hello All,


I recently had a relapse in treatment. For 5 months I was steadily improving after a year and a half of no progress. At some points I felt I was 90-95% (no brain fog and many other symptoms dissapear). Then all the sudden about a month ago my very first symptoms started to appear while on minocycline and rifampin (mostly anxiety related issues, nuero symptoms, low energy). My doctor took me off rifampin and minocycline to start bicllin injections. I was on rifampin/doxy for 6.5 months, minocyline 2 months.

My doctor believes that since I beat bartonella, now the lyme is coming out and symptoms are showing up. Is this common? Has anyone heard such a thing?

Thank you. May we find peace someday.

I agree with Revive. It is extremely common.

Right now, Babesia is my dominant infection. Lyme and Bartonella are still there, but kind of hanging out in the background. I'm going to focus on Babs. Then, I will go after Bartonella afterwards unless it takes over.

I'm sorry that this is such a battle! Keep on fighting.
