Sorry if this is a repeat-I've been searching all evening and am getting tired.
I have bart and have started on Biaxin. Little scratch marks have been showing up but today I could swear that I saw a bug under my skin

So are the scratch marks from an actually bug organisms burrowing beneath the skin? Like termites do?

I am feeling much better on the Biaxin= almost all my symptoms have gone also with the help of Chlorestramine (sp?) to bind with the neurotoxins.

Now I'm just really grossed out by these organisms. I would like to think it's a good sign that my body is becoming less hospitable.

Thanks.

I think the rash is caused by what is known as vasculitis...an inflammation of the vascular system, which is caused by bartonella.

are you on monotherapy Biaxin for bartonella?

Yes. I have an ID and he is basically just humoring me. I will do Buhler's protocol following this.
