I have been on levaquin for over a month now, and I wanted to post that I have been night sweat free for over 2 weeks. Also, my neuropathy in my hands and feet has also subsided. [woohoo]

I really believe bart can look a lot like babs, and both should be treated.

Feel better everyone

This is GREAT news, savebabe! [Big Grin]

I'm SO happy for you! [group hug]

Just curious, what kind of sweats with Bart, drenching night sweats like Babs or different?

[confused]

Savebabe -- A lot of my symptoms looked like Babs but got better with Lyme and Bart treatment. I don't know if that means I don't have Babs or not though.

Congratulations! May you get better and better until totally well!

Please keep us posted about levaquin and if it is helping.

Thanks everyone!!

I have noticed that my drenching night sweats that soaked my cloathes and hair were from babs.

Bart sweats were more localized to my chest and neck.

They were very similar to babs, but less intense.

I hope this helps.

WooHoo! [woohoo]

I had the same thing .... drenching night sweats from babs, but sweats still ongoing until Levaquin. Now I have no sweats at all ... though I did when I had a cold.

I was three months on Levaquin.

bartonella makes my head/neck/face flush and I get an internal heat from it...

not to mention jaw pain, face pain and headaches. Its joyous

Posted by savebabe (Member # 9847) on :

I have also noticed a slight decrease in my headaches in just the past two days.

That is exactly what I get, and I didn't know what infection is causing it. Have had it years.

Posted by capebite (Member # 9789) on :

The book HEALING Lyme mentions that bartinella can cause sweats similar to babesia. I have Bartonella diagnosed by Fry test and I get right shin bone pain, neuropathy,twitching, shaking and sweats under my arm only on right side.

Posted by AZURE WISH (Member # 804) on :

so glad something is helping you savebabe [group hug]

although it makes me a little nervous that some of your bart symptoms are acting babsish..
cuz i dont think i can take having to "start over" on another infection at this point.

hopefully my babs is really just babs (fingers crossed)

I think we need a fingers crossed icon .. seems like i do that alot these days [dizzy]

madgen:

If your husband is having stabbing pain in the frontal lobe area you both might consider it being a symptom of the strong toxicity of levaquin before it is too late.

Levaquin is not a forgiving drug and many of the injuries and lesions it causes are irreversible, like it is stated on the package insert.

Posted by madge (Member # 13704) on :

Thanks, we will call the Dr...My husbands bad stabbing eye pain lasted about 40 min..he has had bad eye pain now for 6 yrs...even treated for Glaucoma because of pressure was high...now that he been on abx for 1 month his pressure droped to 12...so we kind of think it might be lyme and not Glaucoma but still takes his drops..thanks i've been reading all i can for him...i know we have to watch with Levaquin...It seems this is the only med he has any change in any of his pain...take care madge
