I'm not sure if I have that coinfection

I believe it's one of the ones that is treated when you treat lyme - with
tetracycline antibiotics.

You're taking minocycline - that should cover it I think.

Maybe ask your LLMD at your next appt.

I tested positive for R Rickettsii and R. Typhus/Felis in August 2016. I was very very sick. I am not better completely or even close. However, I am WAY better than I was when I first got sick in August 2016. I've spent the majority of the last 16 months on a tetracycline (either doxy or min0) along with other antibiotics and malarone.

So my hope is that, at this point, whatever rickettsial infection I had back in August 2016 is gone. I think I am left battling Lyme and Bartonella.
