OK,
So, been treating for over 2 years, made initla progress after first few months, then nothing since.
Been treating for Babs for 2 years, still have problems though. So doc is thinking, maybe another co-infection. We have laready tested for heavy metals, thyriod hormones, vitamins, all fine, so doc thinks, maybe I have bart. Maybe Erlichia, but no muscle pains.
But I don't seem to have any bart symptoms. No fevers, red marks, nuerological things.
What I have is unrelenting neck pain from arthritis in cervical spine (never had that before lyme), low WBC counts, dental pain, hip arthritis...
What are your bart symptoms?

Mine are typical, shin pain, headache, hot flashes, mood swings, dry sensitive eyes, muscle twitches, depression, lack of motivation, poor memory, inability to concentrate, feeling of being out of it - detached. I hope you figure something out.

I have headache, head pressure, pain behind my eyes, brain fog, air hunger, heart palps...thought some of these are hard to tell if they could be something else.

Dizzyness, panic, sleeplessness, fear, anger, feeling of "dying", out of body, hallucinations, pain all over in waves. Lung probs, airhunger. All much better now since 4 weeks Levaquin, still bad herxes. Gosh, if I hadn't found out by myself that this is Barts, I don't know how long I would have survived this torture.

Amanda, of your list, in my experience, your hip pain might be bart. One of my worst Bart symptoms has been very painful and stiff hips and pelvis and pain in abdomen. These have been sever. My other symptoms have been: trouble walking, I grunt alot now when getting up or sitting down or exerting myself in any way, like it's a real effort and it also hurts, attacks of rage, some crying, some insomnia but it is different type than lyme insomnia. To me, Lyme insomnia has a tired feeling but you can't sleep. whereas Bart seems to have a wired feeling. Also experiencing skin papules and rougher skin, non-pitting edema, burning soles, Bart rashes, and a few more minor things. Robin
