Hey Guys,
I have been driving myself crazy these past couple of days. I am going to change my treatment up and start buhner, abx or both. So I have been reading every symptom list I can get my hands on trying to decipher whether my symptoms are point more towards Lyme or Bartonella (Both I test positive for). Even my LLMD is having difficulties doing so.
I just wanted to hear your guys' opinions on whether you think my symptoms are deriving more from Lyme or Bart. Although some symptoms have faded, I still have moderate and persistant fatigue, occasional viral like body aches, acne, and swollen glands in neck that sometimes are accompanied by a very mild sore throat. It feels like I am getting a sore throat but I never do.
I realize that skin manifestations are very specific to Bartonella but I have also heard that acne is a common result of toxins leaving the body, yeast issues, etc. Also, swollen glands seem to be specific to Bartonella but I see swollen glands and sore throat on some of the Borrelia symptom lists. This leaves me very confused.
Please let me know what you think guys. Just looking for some peace of mind.
If it helps symptoms began approximately 11 months ago and I have been treating for almost 5 months. Treatment began with 5 weeks of Doxy 400mg/day. I also have been taking A-L & A-Bart since the beginning of treatment.
