Wilma Jenks Posted September 4, 2011 Report Posted September 4, 2011 well it has been a long 12 years, but i really see that we are at least on the right track now. it seems this bartonella was making my girl completely non-functioning and psychotic looking. the gains have been: she has a friend for the first time and she is playing quite nicely. the biggest think is that she sleeps! it is a miracle. i can't explain how torturous nights were for her. it was a living ######. pardon my french, but it the only word that really expresses what it was like! she showers and can dress herself. she use to be too confused and psychotic. she is not aggressive with me and leaves the dog alone. her ocd is much much better. i want to thank you guys so much for helping me. it was killing me, to see my girl suffer. i was really starting to think there was no hope. i get my igenix results sept 15th. i will keep you posted. your all the best!!!! ps. i do see some impulsivness creeping back in and i am a bit afraid it will interfere with this relationship she has. does the healing with the bactrim and minocycline have its ups and downs??? perhaps the pdoc. will add something in. not sure if the impulsivenss and teasing comes from the ocd or what happens. thanks again. any advice is welcome.

Wilma Jenks Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Posted September 4, 2011 thanks so much. we are not up to full dose yet, we needed to back down a bit because she is so sensitive to meds/supplemnents. i will ask about it. thanks. she does complain about feeling old and achy while on this treatments. i think i read that this happens though.

Burnell Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 Wow. I never read your story before. My daughter also had bad OCD and rough nights. What are you doing to get her to sleep?
