Anyone else have these? Are they associated with bart?
I have them REALLY bad on my legs! They are coming out of nowhere it seems! I am embarrassed to even wear shorts.

According to Dr. S' book on bartonella they are caused by it.

Wow I never realized this was a symp of Bart, now I m seriously wondering, it says spider veins, liver spot type blemishes and fleshy bumps under the skin on the shin are all signs of Bart. All very specific leg issues I have and I m only 33, thanks for the post I think I may know why I m not getting well as fast as I had hoped.
Has anyone had much experience with Bart causing constant tension and anxiety, thought I heard that somewhere too

I'm only 33 too! I'm weighing in at a whopping 102 lbs so weight is most definitely not an issue here! I eat all day long just to maintain where I'm at.
Anxiety is one of my worst symptoms. I actually started seeing a therapist last October? Can't remember exactly but I went because the panic attacks were out of control!
Little did I know back then that it was related to Lyme/Bart. I was making some improvements with therapy and have noticed some more improvement since being on abx.
As for tension...oh yeah! That's me! My neck and back are always so stiff and I have huge knots that I get.
I had a therapeutic massage done about 3 months ago. It was really weird because I couldn't really function for the rest of the day and still felt odd over the next two days. I was really spaced out.
Now I'm wondering if that was related to the lyme.
I did start seeing a chiropractor as well for my neck and back and that has helped.

i had anxiety for many years before all this so i thought i was relapsing but it was different and more intense so i tried to get a new diagnosis for like 2 years. then for the last year i knew i was sick but all i could get was psyche help.
my breast also start doing weird things, like my nipples started getting more spots and...i went to get some bumps on my,,,you know, checked out too. ..cuts all over my mouth. my gums would burn and i lost a bit of bone just in one night. if thats bart then bart is scary.
