It has recently come to my attention and suspician of Rickettsia.
I need input, such as some good sources on it.
Testing.
Wholistic Treatment, Medical treatment.
I am willing to do the homework, and have done some. But the input I get from here is invaluable to me. I have many sources, but they don't tell me of experience. I need yours.
I am sick again, and displaying the rash again. Bartonella is complicating things but I am familar with the ways Bart affects my symptoms and skin reactions, and this rash isn't Bart.
Help.

If I was to only be able to afford one test, what would I chose?

If you suspect Rickettsia, you could get tested for it? Spotted fever, typhus, and whatever other forms it comes in?
I've been told a couple months of Doxy (at proper doses) should handle it.

I was actually on a four month dose of Doxy, Rifampin, Zith, and flagyl. Boy that was rough.
Recently, we have been re-exposed. I am also aware that Rickettsia can also lay dormant and appear at a later date.
In addition to the re-exposure, I have recently gone through just a tad bit of high stress in losing my job.
