- Bartonella symptoms

[Guest guest]

-Did you ever get the white track marks typical of Bartonella? The Levaquin is helping them for me. I am worried because my boyfriend has these white tracks, or "cut marks" (because there are indentations) on his hip area, especially upper butte area. With certain lotions I can provoke stuff to come out- it's different than the mold colored sludge. Anyway, he has that too. I'm worried he might have gotten Bart from me. Are you familiar with these marks on the body?Last night I gave him 6 drops of A-Bart to see if it would provoke any kind of herx response. I haven't heard back from him yet.AandrayaOn Aug 9, 2011, at 9:40 PM, Goldstein@... wrote: Hi zen and Aggi,Something similar happened with my husband too. Just for history's sake, we both started out with bites (bird mites) - most aggressively on me, but husband had hundreds of bites too that attacked his ears, buttocks, private parts, etc. That was in spring of 2008. He did not get them on his feet or eyes or mouth or scalp like I did, nor did he have the white things falling off the body, or tons of fibers appearing on the body. We treated ourselves, house, everything and over a period of a year things improved and he went into almost 100% remission of any symptoms. Then maybe a year later he started getting symptoms of electrical sensations on one ear that would come and go. Then it got bad for a while and he got a few bites to his knee. He never denied anything as zen described, nor made it miserable for me in any way, always supportive even though I sure talked about it way too much. We kinda went through this alone at that point, except one friend who had mites too several years before. He knew the stress we were under.I have always been at home more hours where we got infested, and he has always been healthier than I am, although not totally healthy since he has Lyme disease, but didn't suffer from co-infections like I have. I don't know if he has Morgellons; I do. But it is really frightening when your spouse has symptoms too because we don't know what that means for them or us, or our kids. So many unknowns that translate into fear... I so hope both of your significant "others" become completely symptom free and you don't have to worry about transmission, or more mites in the house, or anything.From: "zen morgie" <zenmorgie@...>bird mites Sent: Tuesday, August 9, 2011 6:54:14 PMSubject: Re: Re: Hi Guys, just checking in how you are Wow Aggi - the trip sounds wonderful! A well deserved break. Isn't it nice to feel normal once and a while? I am keeping my fingers crossed for your boyfriend. What is weird is that we have sort of had the same experience....we were gone for 10 days from our rented "new" home and today my husband is reporting "crawling" on his face and eyelids...places that used to bother me non-stop. I am still good at this point except for my scalp (which is better - just not 100%). I know this sounds crazy but I made him sleep downstairs tonight. I went through months of him telling me it wasn't so bad and I needed to just accept that my symptoms were either not as bad as as I said or all in my head. Occasionally he would then have issues and want advice but for the most part I fought this battle on my own for myself and the kids. I need to be sympathetic but I must confess I am really just terrified at the thought that he's now infected (M's - not mites most likely) and I will get sick again. I cannot slide back again after gaining ground. I will keep you and your boyfriend in my thoughts! Maybe just a temporary thing. zenOn Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 4:58 PM, Aggi <aggi_assmann@...> wrote: I am afraid it does contain perfume.

It also could be now for us anyway they are not mites, but mozzies or something like that. Maybe your boyfriend had something else bite him. Do they look exactly like mite bites? My husband had 4 bites a few months ago in a square pattern and were itchy. When we looked at the bites under magnifier they had fibers in the bites, but the bites healed quickly and completely. I hope your bf does not have mite bites. Was he freaked out about it? > > > > > > > > > So happy to hear you had a great vacation too. We're leaving on vacation for 2 weeks on Wednesday, going up the California and Oregon coast camping in a RV (brother's). I really need a change of scenery and to just get away. It does a world of good.

This is the very first time that he has been bitten and this after 2 years of having had bird mites. I was really shocked and just hope that this was a total exception and that the mites do not have a go at him now and start reproducing again. Wait and see what is going to happen tonight... > > > Nevertheless, wishing you all a pieceful night and sweet dreams ! > > > Aggi > > > > > >
