I have a couple bart questions . I am currently on biaxin/zith (for aprrox a month and a half)for lyme / possible babs. Have showed bands 41,66,69,45 .
I notiched a red blotchy like rash on my belly with small streaks going through it the streaks were purplish and redish . It faded within 1/2 hour. I have also seem them on the top of my arm above my wrist.
Some of my current symptoms eyelid twitching , brain fog , anxiety, sensitivity to light .
Does this sound bartonella ish are any of my bands suggestive of a co infection . By the way the testing was done by imugen .
Is it possible for the rash to come and go like that with bart ?
Being treat by a llmd in ct pm if u want to know who

Dr. B has noted this in his bart patients, unlike lyme with one missed dose for bart tx and patients symptoms quickly come back in force
Plaq/biaxin sounds like a tx for bart not babs, although I have read that plaq does tx protozoa type infections. Usually for babs I have seen personally it is tx with mepron and zith or malarone.
Streaks resembling stretch marks can be a bart rash. Take a picture so that you have it for the llmd when you return for your next visit.
Call you doctor if this is a great concern.
I have a terrible time with my hearing and ear pain when I am herxing.
I am not a doctor, just sharing what we have gone through.
Good luck, and hope you feel better.

Ok yea sounds like it could be bart. I have yet to try specific bart treatment like levaquin etc i think its worth a shot.
Im a little concerned about streaks but to come and go so quickly with no scar hmm big question mark but could be worse
