I recently got a lot of feedback from lyme friends that said Muscle Twitching could be bart

I am treating babs and getting some muscle twitching and was wondering if bringing down the babs load is letting bart come out?

what are you thoughts on Muscle twitching being Bart Related?

thanks

It's a lyme thing too so not exclusively Bart. Have you had any Bart testing?

As mentioned above, it's very common to lyme.

Also it's common to have idiopathic muscle twitching .. especially under stress and chronic illness.

yea I thought it was a lyme thing but I been getting more and more feedback associating it with bart..

it seems to just happen from an agrivated nervous system.

but was just curious as to wether it was more commonplace with bart

I believe I was tested for bart not sure... I have abandon all forms of testing which is why I am really interested in learning traits

thanks for the feedback

personally, I was having horrendous muscle twitching starting around August. This was in the middle of IM bicillin treatment that was REALLY whacking the lyme and making me herx like crazy. I gradually got some very pronounced symptoms - Anxiety, rages, suicidal depression, muscle twitching, Itching like crazy, etc.
The muscle twitching became very excessive. I started Cipro, 2 weeks later these symptoms cleared up. That was in December. I am still doing well. I now get 2 week "flu" symptom cycles, and dizziness, so I am thinking Babs possibly.
Treating bart helped me turn one of many corners. The muscle twitching went away almost completely. Some seem to think it's because I tripled my Magnesium intake, for the Cipro. Others think Cipro is killing the Bart, which was causing the muscle twitching. I tend to agree w/ the latter, since my anxiety has come way down, and I stopped wanting to die in such a quick time after starting the Cipro.
I couldn't say for sure about anything. But I know I am so much better after treating Bart. and the twitching went away along with the other symptoms.
