I've been treating Lyme / Bart for over nine months now and the only sptom that I have left is shin pain that feels like tingling/burning/shin splints and I'm wondering if anyone else had this sole symptom and was able to formulate something that worked to clear it.

I started with an acute case so had 30 days of doxy and then worked with an LLMD. Did abx specifically Clindamycin, clarithymycin, and metronidazole. Layered in otoba and cats claw. More recently I've added in Japanese knotweed and cryptolypsis. Probiotics and biofilm busters.

Have you thought about hitting Bartonella with Rifampin (plus another antibiotic) or Rifabutin (plus another antibiotic)?

The Riffy’s are good abx to target Bartonella.

Hi Girlie -

I have not .. should I just suggest that to my LLMD? Also, what would the 'other antibiotic' be?

In regards to herbal antmicrobials against Bart hottunyia, sida acuta, and alchornea are often mentioned.

usually a macrolide - azithromycin or clarithromycin

anti-fibrin agents are often necessary alongside abx for persistent bart - lumbrokinase is the strongest - but you may have to introduce slowly - or start on milder ones as some people get strong reactions to breaking up fibrin

There are several choices - minocycline …. Ceftin….Azithromycin are ones that my LLMD prescribes
