In 2003, when diagnosed, I had an igg that was supposed to be <64 for bartonella. It was 1:256. Last year I re-took a bartonella test and it showed it was supposed to be <64. It was

1:64. I thought igg was past infection. My lyme test was low positive and my llmd said my bartonella was positive. She treats with zithromax for bart. Had 2 specs that show

hypoperfusion. Having anxiety symptoms, as well as lymie joint pain, losing sense of direction, feel almost not in reality but doing all that I do usual. Anyone know their bart titers and

have active symptoms in the igg? I wasn't sure that meant it can be active now. Am on 1500 mg ceftin and 500 mg zithromax. I just do not feel myself mind wise. Lyme pain is tolerable - thank God. Any take on this?

Thanks much,
Be well -

Mine is 1:64 and I was told it was positive, and have started treating with Levaquin and Prevacid.

If my memory serves me. The titer is read at "less than" 1:64 or "greater than" 1:64. My titer was positive at "gerater than" >1:64.

The test results did not specify how much greater than 1:64 my titer was.

I also was told I have "late stage" lyme.

I am on Tetracycline 1000mg and Plaquanil 400mg + cats claw 2xday.

I handle this just fine, as would be expected my symptoms have worsend slightly, but this reminds me daily that the abx are doing there job.

Unfortunaley the right combo for me and others may do nothing for you. It is a game of trial and error.

Best wishes finding the right combo for you.
