Just to be clear though, I would still advise you go through the usual checks with an eye doc in case it is unrelated!...
Na, eye docs dont see anything, have many many eye problems, all the symptoms described for many years. Went to a few eye docs and they all sent me packing with no findings. So eventually accepted it...
Bart causes a lot of eye issues with me. Im on Cipro and its sorted most of my visual issues (Cipro is dangerous though, make sure you cover it properly with your doc before considering it) Have you...
Yea Bart is a nasty one, symptoms are wide ranging (most mentioned above in this thread already) I had serious vascular and CNS involvment. It caused a bout of myocarditis in 2013 and in 2017 it led...
Oddly, for the first time since 2013, my chest pain and arythmia is gone, like completely gone! I noticed last night after taking a walk with my wife that I was not out of breath and had none of the...
Yea the siezure fear with the toungue twitching is a nightmare! Especially when it really flares up! So I assume I got it decades ago as a child. We had lots of cats and there resident fleas (the two...
Hey Missouri, I should of maybe elaborated more. My twitching is extreme and all over (toungue is the most disturbing, followed by the muscles), has been for about a year now. I have the usual...
I struggle with it as well, but it is transient (comes and goes) Horribly frustrating though as it comes on without warning and is normally accompanied by a migraine (though not always). I have...
Hey All, I have noticed that the soles of my feet continuosly twitch. Affects both feet but mainly the left. I dont feel them, not at all, I only see them optically. Now I have tested positive for...
Just Cipro for now, its also the first treatment since i tested positive. dosage is 500 mg twice daily (so from now will be 250 mg twice daily) Thats the point im a bit worried about, if its side...
Hey Girlie, spoke with my doc today and he advised I take half the dose and report back on Friday. Had like a tremor attack this morning which affected all four limbs quite visibly. Had tremor...
Did they do an MRI? Perhaps find any lesions? Do you have Bartonella? (apologies for all the questions!) I had slight issues with the bladder, but they resolved relatively quickly. My bowel was more...
Thanks girlie/Lvg123, yea im starting to suspect collagen loss as its a slow process and after a few EMG's there is still no sign of weakness, also the sporadic distribution of the atrophy seems to...
Interesting, small fibre neuropathy was found with me after a skin biopsy. They could never tell me the cause though so I learnt to live with it. Could this be a typical Bart symptom? (So far Bart is...
Hey all, so a quick update, its been a week on ABX and I have had some surprising results. Day 1: Was awful, my brain felt dead, literally dead, I would stare off into space randomly, could not...
Ah good to find someone who has a similar system for the twitches! I wish I could find some literature on it, must put that on my list for the next doc appointment. Yep, i know that, the ol' "you...
Hey Girlie, thanks for the tip there, I read about the risks and will discuss with my doc. "Question: Is the spinal cord ischemia the same as the transverse myelitis? (ie is one just describing what...
Thanks! Ah yes, these docs where the reason I started hunting for these nastys in the first place! Led me eventually to an interesting paper on bartonella and a few case studies of individuals with...
Thanks Walkingbyfaith, wow, knew it was dangerous but not so risky! :/ Hope my GP knows what he is doing! Definitley call him tmw on that one The antibodies they found where as follows: Bartonella...
Hey Garion, well its a complicated list but let me give it a bash :) - Twitching (fasciculations): This all over the place, but most disturbing is when it happens to the tongue. I can break the...
Im definitley no doctor so please take this with a huge huge pinch of salt, but in my own experience Ciprofloxacin has reduced my twitching to almost nothing. I only started it yesterday so perhaps...
Cheers for the response acarined! Yep, im hunting for a good LLMD, seems hard to do it in Germany though as the medical system here is quite hard to navigate and very regulated, but I did find a...
Thanks for that Healing! Mmm, that would explain the twitches. I did notice that a lot of my symptoms seem specific to Lyme, so will push that point when I see my doc next time. For me the twitching...
Thanks for the response Opugirl, I do have an appointment with a lyme specialist in a few weeks to ensure Lyme is not present. The frustrating bit I find in the research I have done over the months...
Hey all, been scanning this forum for a few weeks now (as well as other forums) looking for answers to my many unexplained medical issues over the years. A brief history: In 2011, I started...
