GraceUnderPressure Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 My 22yo ds (chronic neuro-lyme & bartonella w/possible babesia) was responding positively to rifampin, though it did increase his tics considerably. Unfortunately, his stomach could not tolerate it very well. We have not gotten as good a response with anything else since (though we may not have been on the Bactrim DS long enough to say for sure) The bartonella seems to be our toughest problem. Levaquin helped a bit. Been thru Zith & Biaxin, several cephalosporins, clindamycin. Done some herbal stuff. Hasn't been able to tolerate A-Bart yet. Anything else we might try?

philamom Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 We used Minocin in combination with another abx a while back for bartonella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraceUnderPressure Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Thanks! We have used Minocin, but not in combo with anything & possibly not long enough so that could be a good possibiity. Any idea what the other antibiotic might have been?
