Hopeny Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) I am glad you found some possible answers. Please note that bartonella is difficult to detect so false negative tests are common. We have used rifampin/Zithromax combo for almost 11 months to treat bartonella. Typically there is a long herximer reaction when treating bartonella which is transmitted by ticks, cats, fleas, lice and other hosts. This means you may see a burst in increase of symptoms from organism die off when starting ti treat bartonella. rThere are also some good herbal remedies you can use, I have found burbur by nutramedix to be very effective in calming down rages and other bartonella symptoms. It is important to find a knowledgable llmd to help you with Bart treatment. I know that others gave posted that ivig may be ineffective when dealing with Lyme, bartonella etc . I wish you all the best Edited September 23, 2013 by Hopeny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
