Bartonella??

Hello guys,
I have several health problems, some are urological (strange pain in urethra that lasts still and frequent urination) but I've visited my urologist and everything was OK..it lasts more than year now. I also have kind of strange feeling in my throat that lasts two years, but ORL specialist had done swabs and checked my throat. Again everything was OK. Now I have this in my underarm and I don't know if it's not chafed only. http://jpeg.cz/images/2017/06/03/YI8Lz.jpg and http://jpeg.cz/images/2017/06/03/HL7JO.jpg
The second one is not that visible, it's only one small line. From last summer I have kind of sensitive skin and sometimes I develope rash that looks like little red dots, but it disappear after hour or two. When I was reading the Lyme symptoms I realized that I had facial paralysis about 4 years ago, but I thougt it was an allergic reaction to something so I did not go to see my doc. It fixed up within a week on its own so I was not bothering with that anymore. And also since then I started to sweat more in my upper body.

Does it look like bartonella? Because I saw lot of images on google and it looked kinda different.

Hi Murto. I have Bart and my most defining symptoms have been extremely sore/aching soles of my feet, sore throat that comes and goes (with issues swallowing), headaches around my eyes and ice pick headaches.

I also have had lines -- reddish/purplish -- on different parts of my body. The first time I noticed the lines, there were only two on the upper back side of my arm. So, I don't think they need to necessarily present in large numbers.

That said, the symptoms for these TBDs are so diffuse, it's hard to know at times which disease is the culprit. Are you working with an LLMD that can help you identify what to target?

Hi Murto, in one of your first posts you said that you live in the Czech republic and that there are no LLMD's there. Are you seeking other forms of treatment yet? If not, I would encourage you to do so. There are different ways to treat these infections other than using a LLMD and pharma abx. Maybe it's time to look into those ways?

I would agree that Bart and Babs should be on your 'radar' and, by association, Lyme as well. It's common for those infections to be present together.

The pictures you posted look like those are from either scratching yourself, or from Bartonella though. So, if you didn't scratch yourself there, you really do need to get into treatment.

Thank you guys,
I'm going to visit my local GP tomorrow. It doesn't look like scratch actually, because it seems to be under the skin and something similar appeared months ago (also in my left underarm). I also have aching soles, especially when I'm walking for a while, but I'm not really sure if it's related, because I used to have problems with my soles when I was like thirteen. Sometimes I have feeling in my muscles like getting a cramp. Right now in my left tricep muscle and my left bicep hurt as well a little bit (the same arm where are the scratches). The red dots I have sometimes are totally flat...they also seems to be under the skin and they are not grouped together. It's only one or two little red dots on the arm, another two or three somewhere else etc.. I'm also bruising on my arms quite easily and generally have my skin sensitive and not really well healing. I've read somewhere that facial palsy could be the sign of Lyme disease and I had it three or four years ago.
