I went to the Dr. and she diagnosed me with strep syndrome - spondyloarthritis.

Does anyone have this?

I have to take a ton of supplements but they will help me to get better sooner. Lets just hope so.

Thanks!

Ibprophen and exercise help this condition. It basically means you have a LOT of inflammation. Very common with Lyme and tick borne diseases.

And.. just like in Bartonella...

"Antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, given over a three-month course soon after disease onset, may have a beneficial effect on the prognosis of reactive arthritis, especially when triggered by Chlamydia trachomatis, but not in other types of spondyloarthritis."

Did you get the bart tests yet?

I've emailed you as I am out of state. No response.
