From reading various posts, these seem to be bart related. I tested just over the low cutoff on Igenex...so I think I have Bart.
Thoughts?

BCB- I honestly think you and I are carbon copies of each other when it comes to this disease. I am also trying to figure out if I have Bart. I think I have mild symptoms of it.

I agree...I'm feeling pretty good most days. 90% or so...but I still have these nagging symptoms which are more annoying than disabling. The jaw thing is a bit of a pain (literally.)
Wondering if I've gotten the lyme and now have to go after Bart.

Most of those symptoms (except the leg twitching) were babesia for me.
Have you treated babesia?
The symptoms overlap so very much.
Hard to tell which co-infection it is.
What does your LLMD say?
Hugs,

THe only one of those symptoms I had with bart was twitching of my muscles. Look at your skin for indications of bart. Feel for marble like nodules under the skin that hurt when pressed. Lumps along your shin bone, pea size brown spots on your skin or loss of pigmentation, tiny blood blisters, spider veins, swollen areas on your body that do not leave an impression when you press them (not edema), unexplained stretch marks, other strange markings like stacked clams or chicken wire.
