My LLMD recently diagnosed me with hemobartonella confirmed by Fry labs (blood smear). I believe I have had the bug for many years and it just now surfaced after going thru a very stressful period.
Approx. a year ago I felt a small marble in size type pressure, tingling, burning, and sometimes cool flowing sensation in the ball of my left foot. Over the last year it has spread into both feet. Sometimes the symptoms are really strong and other times they are very weak. Getting off my feet helps immensely.
I am even getting a grabbing pressure , tingling, type feeling in my back now that comes and goes. A few burning areas in my left leg and right arm also. Occasional tingling in my left finger tips. Do these sound like Bart symptoms? I am assuming my nerves are inflammed?
Started on rifampin, tindamax, and doxy approx. a 1 1/2 months ago. Taking mag, b12, and numerous other supplements. I have felt no change at all.
I am starting to wonder if this is something else? Thinking about seeing a neurologist? Any thoughts, suggestions, or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have that same sensation in my foot but never tied the two together...I lways just though it was some sort of bone chip or omething in there causing it, but now as I hear you describe the same thing I don't know why I would think I even had a bone chip in there with no injury to cause it. Funny how we try and rationalize and find caues to explain it away. I have been being reated for 2 years now for Lyme but starting to attack the bart which flared up horribly after the birth or my son in August. Between the stress on my body and then some emtional stress unrelated to the birth or baby It has been a very uncomfortable flare. I am only 3 weeks into treatment and not finding much change other then some mild herxing. Stick with it for a while. My plan is to give it 6 moonths to a year wth ABX but if Im not getting the improvement I need I am planning to try the Byron White Formulas. My mother is having very good luck with them and I have heard my other positive things about them. Good luck!
