Hi guys, does anyone know if anaplasma or ehrlichia can cause muscle twitches or sleep disturbances?

I had pretty high IGG titers [160] for both of these infections on Igenex, and these are actually my main 2 symptoms. I have none of the classic bartonella or lyme symptoms at all, but do have bartonella IGG titers at 256, so maybe I have that as well, not sure.

I'm going to talk to my LLMD about adjusting my treatment protocol to include Doxy/Bactrim/Zith/Mepron...that should take care of anaplasma/ehrlichia [and maybe bart?] if I have it, right?

If I remember correctly, doxy is good for ehrlichia and anaplasmosis.
Bart can be treated with Bactrim and Zith, but from what I've seen/read, it's not used as often as Rifampin (combined with another antibiotic).

I believe one of our members who is fully healed used Bactrim and Zith for bart, but started treatment within a year of being infected.

I see you want Mepron - do you suspect you have Babesia?

I don't know what symptoms ana/ehrlicia cause...but muscle twitches and sleep disturbances can also be caused by bart.

So, you don't have classic bart symptoms - such as foot pain, rib pain, lymph node swelling/pain....
There are a lot of symptoms that can be attributed to lyme or bart.
