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.

Ceftin an zithro orals or rocephin and zithro iv got me in remission a few times. Feel better.

Our LLMD wrote this about treating Bartonella:
"Many antibiotics used to treat Lyme disease will also be effective for Bartonella.
The more specific drugs are Levaquin , Ciprofloxacin,Moxifloxin,Doxycycline,Minocycline,Cephalosporins,Rifampin and Bactrim. Most medications have side effects and needs to have careful clinical and lab. tests observation regularly. Every LLMD has their favourites combinations and will vary from doctor to doctor."
