Up to now, since 3 months every parts of my articulations feet, knees, back,fingers, and neck crack. Those symptoms get worst everyday.
I often feel pain below my left feet and my left leg is numb. My throat pain or my left side of teeth is still there. Somebody has an idea of what's going on???
I've been treated for 6 months for Bartonella with Levaquin(500mg)/day. Is it enough to treat it?
I've been on Bebesias treatment with Mepron and Zithromax for 6 months now. I also take 6 gr of Amoxy per day.
It has been 21 months now that I am treat for the Lyme desease. The symptoms change all the time, but i feel less pain.
A good advice will be apreciate it. Thank you for your help

Isabel, the cracking is somewhat common. It should improve in time. Your taking the right medications.
Bartonella is probably causing your foot pain. It can take a long time to recover. Many here have been treated much longer than 21 months. When you do the babesia treatment you may want to add the capsulized herb form of artemisinin to the mepron and zithromax.
Levaquin can be hard on your tendons so this may be contributing to your pain. Ask your doc if you can use rifampin and zithromax for bartonella instead.

I can hardly believe that you are able to take all those meds at once. Hubby has to treat just one infection at a time.
I also agree -- might be a good idea to switch from Levaquin to Rifampin for Bartonella. Just go slow if you do that as some people have a very hard time with tolerating Rifampin.
After 6 months, you need to reevaluate your Babesia treatment. If symptoms are still present may need to change meds as babesia can become drug resistant.
