Okay, Fry Lab has me mildly positive on the antibody test for bart h and bart q on IgG only (1:64 titer), but not on the IgM. The blood smear shows the coccobacilli bacteria suggestive of mycoplasma or hemobartonella. Four years ago I tested positive for lyme and did a year of antibiotics. This was 18 months after I first got the symptoms.
Here are my current symptoms:
1) myoclonus jerks 2) imbalance 3) sensitivity to stimuli that cause more jerks 4) fatigue 5) dry mouth and thirst 6) occasional headache 7) some tingling in left hand and foot 8) high ear pressure when weather changes 9) homeopathy brought out a bart like rash on my back for a few days this summer 10) brain lesions shown on MRI from 2006 11) multiple food allergies that began with lyme and have worsened 12) hair falling out (probably due to malnourishment)--just recently 11) low DHEA, and female hormones, but cortisol and thyroid is normal as are glucose levels
I have NO brain fog (even if I cannot spell!)
What symptoms do others have who have the blood smear from Fry that suggests mycoplasma? Hiker53

I know nothing about fry labs but do know a lot about mycoplasma.
The long and short is that mycoplasma is a lyme mimic. Any symptom that lyme can cause, mycoplasma can cause.
When co-infected, its nearly impossible to tell which infection is causing which symptom.
My primary symptoms due to mycoplasma: Muscle twitching Chest and rib pain Stiffness of leg muscles and back Tingling in fingers

I was found to be positive for Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma. I don't know about the Myco at this point, but the Ureaplasma has not gone away after 9 months of antibiotics. My ND thinks it may be a "mutated" strain.
Think these bugs can be knarly, like Lyme.

Great post. I too have been tested positive for mycoplasma pnuemoniae. Doc is pretty sure it came from my moldy apartment of two years.
I was sick before with Lyme. However when the VA misdiagnosed my Pneuemoniae as Bronchitis. That did not help me.
It was not till 5wks later when I developed Pluresy in my lower right rib cage and was on my 3rd antibiotic. As well as put on a bronchodialator that they took a chest x-ray. I was told that everything looked good. Hmmmm....
At any rate she said my IgeneX Lyme results were much worse since the one the VA had sent it to a Lab in Houston back in Feb.
I am wondering If I should be tested now for Mycoplasma Ferretin as well. Since I did recieve several vacines before being shipped to Germany. If so, how do they test for that?
I have a lot of tingling in my little pinkies and just below them. Headaches that last for weeks on end. Same as other mycoplasma related symptoms. As well as deep muscle cramping. Deep pains that feel like it's deep in my bone. Posts: 109 | From San Antonio,Tx | Registered: May 2008
