cobbiemommy Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I'm not sure exactly what is happening to DS, but I think he is having a Bartonella herx. We are on day six of Valtrex for Coxsackie/Epstein Barr virus. Since yesterday he has been having some chest pains. Today, the Bartonella rash is back with a vengeance along the sides of his torso. We have not had a noticable herx since July. Maybe we have broke something loose! Cobbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaFaith Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Think you are right on! My son had many rashes during his 'lyme and co' treatment but has not had many, if at all, in the 6 mos. - year of treatment. He was also on Valtrex for many months. Hopefully, healing will continue!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamistwins Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 We are also on valtrex I understood it treats viral issues, why do you think it's a bartonella herx isn't that bacterial infection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobbiemommy Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Maybe by whipping the viruses butt, the immune system can then focus on the Bartonella??? Just as long as that stuff goes away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
