How long were you treated for Bart with azith & rifampin? I have been treated for 2 months and feel pretty good. Curious how long this usually lasts.
Thanks

I have not heard of these two abx being used in combo myself, but if it is working that is great.
Bart has a way of "relapsing" in some people, took me over a year to beat it on biaxin.

I took biaxin for several months w/ mepron and then switched to azith/mepron.
It has worked for me and my hubby. Just uncertain how long we should be doing this. Neither of us have many side effects. I took levaquin previously and it took months to get over the pain that caused. It worked quickly but I had many side effects with it.

I was treated for FOUR months using Rifampin/Doxy/Biaxin. I believe Azith would have been in the mix instead of Biaxin accept that Azith and my stomach did not get along.
I did this combo for four months. Helped me immenseley. But I'm pretty sure it did not get rid of my Bartonella totally either, as I still have at least 6 or so symptoms of it.

Aloha~
Six months for me.
First month had some rough headaches- but overall it was a steady improvement!
It's done WONDERS for me! So thankful.
Starting Levaquin tomorrow.
Wish me luck!
All the best to you!

I was treated for Bart with Zith & Rifampin for 5 mos.
I've been off abx 2 1/2 mos and, so far so good. It was a winner combo for me!
Sounds like you're doing well on it so stick with a good thing (at least 3 mos)!
