I have read in the past that co infections must be treated first before we can get rid of Lyme.

While I am doing a lot better that many here (I thank God for that) I still have minor issues that I don�t see why they are not going away. I

I still get small nerve pain?. Not use if that is the right term but I say nerve pain because it does not hurt when I touch it and the pain comes for only a few seconds.

Anyway I suspect bart because I still have muscle twitches. I have had then for 8 years on and off (I think that is when I got infected). Back then the twitches were all over but concentrated on my right leg cavs. The constant twitching stopped after a few months on its own, but I still twitch every now and then.

Here is why I am suspecting bart:

Mild Sole Pain on some mornings.
Mild Tinnitus (since sept but better than before)
Some eye issues
Anxious (but controlled)
Heart Palps (better since sticking with O3 and COQ10)
Eye fullness a LOT better since treating with Bactrim but still there.

Here is my question.

1. I am Bactrim for babs (clinical). I never suspected babs but I trust my doc. Since Bactrim is uses to treat bart as well (though not the prefer drug) can that explain why I have gotten some but not 100% rid of bart.
2. Which one is treated first, babs or bart?
3. Does my reminding sx sound like babs or bart. I check the list under common topics and the bart sx describe many of my sx current and past but sx are shared amongst all coinfections it seems

Just my opinion ... your remaining symptoms sound like Bartonella. Those are my bart symptoms and have gotten worse when Im herxing.

My LLMD usually treats Babesia first, she says that its harder to get rid of the other 2 when Babesia is around. Others disagree but thats what I am doing.

I'm also treating babs before bart. I have many of ur bart sx.

I'm using A-Bab to treat babesia now, and will use A-Bart when I start tx of Bart. I'm sure I will use ABX also at some point for both, but my doc says I may be lucky enough to get by with just the herbal compound.
