I have what I am pretty sure are bartonella scratch marks .. on my stomach and upper cheast... ive actually been feeling better... can this be a sign that treatment is working or is it the opposite?

I think I read on this board that treatment of bart makes you feel better quickly. I have no experience, though.

I find Bartonella treatment such as levaquin casue huge herx and then immediate improvement of 20% or more. First treatment last summer had me in a bad way for 6/7 weeks then got better.
This time around I knocked it out in 7 days.

Is the scratch marks an indication of herxing? I've now gotten tired also.. so I'm thinking its a herx.. I just want to make sure something is working rather than not
