I posted about my hunch of bart a while a go. I am doing pretty well but have some minor issues.
Pain is pretty much gone. I think healing my gut was the key to this. I don't think I am don't healing it but it is a lot better than it was.
As I posted on another threat I have these weird looking acne / bumbs. Looked up Dr. B's guide and he said "red papular eruptions" are common with bart. Looked online to see what that was and it seems to be very much like the acne I have.
I hear the best abx for bart is levaquin. I remember asking my LLMD for it and he said it was too strong and that it might be taken of the market? Anyone hear this?
Aside from the acne I am noticing my mild axienty is coming back. I also get these jolts when trying to fall at sleep which I hear is also anx related.
I think I have a mild case of it since my sx are not too strong. I have tried Bactrim which helped my babs but I think it did not work for bart.
I will ask him for levaquin or something else to go after bart

Hubby just started IV Levaquin. His LLMD didn't say anything about it being taken off the market

How about a Rifampin combo or biaxin with bactrim? Both of those are pretty good alternatives to the quinolones.

I look Bactrim (no Biaxin) and I did not notice the difference. I did take some sx away that I thought where babs related. Maybe it was bart and it work but I still have this acne issue. Here is that they looks like...
I have then on my upper body but not much other that this spot on my forehead. Some of them looks like regular acne that comes to a white head. sometimes if I pop it I see a thick white substance / or solid dot come out with a lil blood. Most of them never come to a head. It is just a red skin bump.
I had a difulcan left some a few months back. I started taking it since my diet is much better now. I notice that I am getting itchy all over...Not like a rash itchy but I do itchy. Maybe this is yeast after all? I don't have anything other issue.
Well I do have this mild anxs but that could also be the yeast reaction to the med. I started taking mag and other supplements again and the anx has been better. I stopped the supplements just in case they where causing the acne.
