Does Ceftin hit Bartonella?
I was looking through my old notes and when I was on Ceftin + Doxy I was at 95% health with very little CNS involvement.
Once I stopped this combo Bartonella symptoms came up and have been up (and worse) ever since.
I'm now on Rifampin + Doxy but the Bart/BLO bacteria seems too already (2 months) be building a resistance to Rifampin.
