Big sigh time. Its been less than a week since starting this no-anitbiotic trial to see if I can end the picc line, and I ache all over.
I'm assuming that symptoms coming back this quickly are more likely bartonella that hasn't been hit hard enough yet. I guess I need to go refresh myself on bart treatment, so I can be prepared to call the LLMD on Monday,unless some sort of miracle happens over the weekend.
Sorry I needed a little mini-vent. So frustrating. I was hopeful for an entire few days!

Try some Cumanda to see if you get a reaction....this herb does kill bart for many and worked for us better than abx when we combined it with Samento!

Tick Battler,
How long did you use the Cumanda before you saw positive results? I am on month 2 with Samento and Banderal and month one with Cumanda but does not seem I am making an impact.
All the Best, MattH

Is there an alcohol-free version of Cumanda available? I cannot do any alcohol in any quantity.

Wendy-when I went off meds the first 2 weeks were awful! Then slowly I started to feel great!
Unfortunately after 2 months the symptoms came creeping back
I have had 2 LLMD's tell me that your body can start dumping toxins when off meds and that causes a herx reaction.
I did a liver cleanse from my LLMD-I had symptoms come out I hadn't had in years!
Just something to think about...can you take apple pectin or charcoal tabs?

I've been on Samento and Banderal before, but not recently. Haven't tried Cumanda yet.
Beths - that's encouraging, I hope this is the case! Well, except for symptoms coming back in 2 months part. I've got charcoal tabs. And we just picked a whole pile of apples...
