-hard 1/4 inch bumps under the skin on the extremities (around 15 on each arm), 4 on the back, 5 on my thighs, 1 on my button. New small ones appearing.
-crushing fatigue
-neck pain
-constant head pressure (never reaches a 0 on a scale of 1 to 10)... always at least a 1
-random stabbing pains that last for a few seconds then never really come back in the same spot
-body jerking/twitching
-migraines
-crazy eye floaters/blueness around eyes/halos
-trouble forming sentences/expressing thoughts
-anxiety
*constant high lymphocytes and low neutrophils*
I am approaching October 1st... which will mark one year of treatment. I treated Babesia for 10 months. Started Bartonella treatment August 1st.
Throughout my treatment I am pretty sure I am experienced herxing at times... have done all the detox methods, have drank the constant lemon water.. have done the constant detox baths. I have changed my diet to 100% organic.
I am worried I could have Lymphoma or something hidden. The only thing that makes me worry about this is my "fatty tumors" all over my body. What is interesting is that they are in the same spots on each of my arms... I don't think they are fatty cysts but are inflamed lymph nodes.
2 strands positive IgM, and a bunch of strands positive, IND for IgG, Babesia Duncani IgM positive, EBV IgG positive, Coxsackie IgG positive. I had a tick on my head when I was 8 which was taken off. Never treated. My symptoms all started February 14 2012 but my bumps on my body started in the early 2000's. I am 23 years old.
I am debating on seeing a hematologist and cardiologist.... Any ideas? Or do you guys think I should stick on the path that I am on? I don't know if I can keep doing this with these symptoms.. what is the point in living in constant pain.

What does your pcp say about the bumps under your skin?
I would work on parasite treatment if I were you. Check out symptoms on humaworm.

Sounds like classic bartonella to me. Read Buhner's description of it, sounds like what you are dealing with. Esp since you started bartonella treatment Aug 1!

Doesn't sound like fatty tumors to me. They would probably be bigger.
Info for anyone who has lipomas: drinking noni juice and taking grapeseed extract capsules can melt them away within a couple weeks time, for the lucky ones of us. Like me!

I was also going to say Bartonella.

The symptoms you describe, aside from the lymph nodes/nodules in your arms, are to a "t", my symptoms of bartonella.
I am sorry you have the head pressure as well.
What are you taking for Bart?
I started rifampin. So far, after the herx headache from h---, I am feeling slight improvement in head pressure already.
got some great feedback from others on here. Rifampin is a goodie.

Essential fatty acids can stop the lipomas from progressing, and may help them to clear up.
I found that information on Dr. Walt Stoll's site.
