It's been awhile since I've posted. I've been off of abx for about 2 years now, and feeling fairly well. Some minor issues.

Some of those minor issues - on the increase for the past 7 mos or so - have made my LLMD suspect that we may need to re-address bartonella.

We agreed to address a few other issues first, to see if that alleviates the problem, but to keep bart in mind, and re-assess in one month.

I have been having double vision at night for the past 7 mos (same time frame), and mentioned it at my eye exam today.

The eye doc did a quick test and diagnosed me with small angle esotropia.

It is not visible if one is looking at me, but he could induce a muscular issue in one of my eyes. This is likely the cause of my double vision at night, as he made a guess that as I get tired, the estropia occurs - and causes the double vision.

I have never had this mentioned before, and he did not know if it had just developed or if I've had it all my life and no one noticed. I find it hard to believe that no one noticed this, since I've had annual eye exams my entire life.

Have any of you heard of estropia as a result of bartonella? Or TBD infection?

Thanks.
