Went to the doctor today for the usual visit. All went well.

I asked him if I had bart as well. He said not sure but it might be in your blood.

I had the fry smear done and my doc said it could be bart.

He doesn't like fry to much therefore didn't put much stock into the results.

How many of you have all three???

Can this get any better?? I'm so tired of all this..... [Frown]

Hi,
You might know, but there are more than 2 co-infections. If you include viral co-infections I have had 7 co-infections in all that I am aware of.

Ticks can transfer nematodes (worms), bacterial and viral infections.

Here is a list of just a few bacterial co's that are common w/LD and symptoms/treatment: http://www.lymeinfo.net/coinfectionarticle.html

One of the most complete lists of TBD infections is from the website, Lyme Disease Memorial Park Project, it includes all the possible strains, but I don't see herpes viruses such as CMV, HHV6, EBV and other viruses that are common.

What a terrifying list

Posted by lymebytes (Member # 11830) on :

I agree, it really is.

My LLMd once said to me (and now I know he wasn't kidding) "Lyme is the tip of the iceberg".

Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :

Everyone in Maryland that I know with lyme disease (and, that is many, many people) also had babesiosis and bartonella.

Virginia is our neighbor, so I expect virtually the same thing there.

Posted by sixgoofykids (Member # 11141) on :

I had all three.

Posted by janice victorov (Member # 22937) on :

How sad!!

I know I have babs as well and the doctor suspects Bart.

What are the major symptoms of bart?

TF~you are symptom free?? How long did it take to get rid of the babs, bart? [Smile]

Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :

I have been rid of lyme, babs, and bart for 5 years.

My Burrascano type doc got rid of all 3 of them in one year of treatment.
