I take my rifampin, 2 hrs later I take a-Bart and A-inflam and my eyes blood vessel burst, spread out with more redness. Anybody know what would cause this, my guess is inflammation in the eyes with the Bart. It must aggravate the Bart to cause the my eyes to get worse.

Thanks

Sorry this is happening to you.

I remember rushing our daughter to the eye Dr. when she was treating Bart. She said her eyes felt irritated and she could not see me: I was right next to her.

Dr. did a complete eye exam etc and all was normal. It lasted a day and may have been herx related in our daughter's case.

Bart is awful. I would mention the reaction to your Dr.

Hang in there.

Rifampin always cleared this up for me.

Most herbs on the other-hand I found aggravated Bartonella. A-Bart increased my Bart symptoms and never, ever gave relief. I could list more.

Houttuynia is the only exception - it actually reduces my Bart symptoms.

Canefan17,

How is your Bart now? Did Rifampin put you Bart into remission?

Hope things are going well

I wish my husband would take Rifampin again because it cleared up his eyes. He looks like a drug addict his eyes are so red. He is non compliant though and hates to take meds.
