This is a bit out of order but I wanted to do an updated post on how I am doing post Bartonella treatment. I did 2 rounds of the Bartonella Series & it's still up in the air if we will go back later to address a third round.
Anyways, before my Bartonella treatment I got horrible rashes all over my body from heat. Then I got really sick afterwards. This would come from the sun, the shower & even my heating pad (imagine that). This is what my wonderful rash looked like:

It's not cute, but I said I wouldn't hide anything on here so there it is. It was tough day in & day out. I can now say that the last 3 months I have been BART RASH FREE! It's truly a visual testament to me that I know it's gone. I don't think I would have believed it otherwise. Symptom wise it's a tough call. I jumped right into Lyme treatment so currently this is making me pretty sick. It's hard to separate symptom from herx. They are all jumbled together.
One thing I can say however is that I feel improved from August (when I began Bartonella treatment). I can't put my finger on how specifically, but just an aura of feeling better. I truly feel like that burden has been mostly lifted. If things come back though we will certainly add in a 3rd round down the road.
So I hope this update was informative & helpful to someone. There is so much negativity with my posts now from Lyme treatment that I wanted to post SOMETHING happy for a change. :)
