Re: Just Thinking Out Loud

April 3, 2012

Thank you for writing this. I totally agree. Last summer when this all started I

had the same eye infection and then again a couple months ago. Very similar to

pink eye. My boyfriend has never experienced bites but his eyes have been

watering painfully since this started. I have been getting bites everywhere I

go. I woke up with a swollen black eye again. I am trying to keep up on cleaning

so my house doesn't get totally infested again. I have this strange feeling I

had Lyme for awhile just don't know where I got it. It is transmitted sexually

for my cousin got it from husband and passed it on to their unborn child. They

are healthy now. When I think back a few years ago my skin was always itchy I

assumed I was allergic to dust mites. Then about 3 years ago i got lice out of

the blue.My body has been hurting all over. All my joints hurt especially my

lower back. The other night I lifted up my shirt and a tick was attached to my

stomach. I feel like wherever I go all bloodsuckers are out to get me. It makes

perfect sense that anything that lives off blood can transmit all kinds of

things from person to animal to person and so on. I refuse to let this get me

down this warm season. Thinking of all of you

mites, transmission of illnesses from mites and other vectors and I'm starting

to piece together something that may or may not be of interest or relevant to

any of you. But, read on.

fleas, biting flies and ticks are carrying Lyme Disease, Bartonella, Babesia and

a host of other parasites and infections. If you get bit by any of these vectors

your likelihood of getting Lyme Disease, Bartonella or another coinfection are

likely. Sometimes a person's immune system can overcome and eliminate these

infections, and sometimes the infections go into hiding for a long time and

manifest at a later time.

> In the past few years I've been trying to understand some of the worst of my

illness symptoms, and whether they are Lyme symptoms or Bartonella or perhaps

something else. Lately I'm focusing on Bartonella. I believe my eye symptoms are

Bartonella and here is why:

>

> 1. Bartonella is a bacteria; there are many subtypes now, and the bacteria is

evolving and changing. I had an acute infection in the eyes 1-1/2 years ago that

was the most painful thing I've ever experienced with my eyes. The thing that

got rid of the infection was antibiotic drops and steroid drops. I've continued

to get watery eyes, with lots of floaters. I also have a waxy substance on my

face that in the past would form false pimples, or papules, that had a clear

liquid in them rather than what is contained in a pimple.

>

> 2. I noticed that when I recently stopped the antibiotics I had been taking a

few weeks ago for the Bartonella (Doxy and Rifampin), the eye symptoms that had

improved previously began to come back, which included floaters and watery eyes

being the worst of the symptoms in the eyes. I also noticed a tension in neck

and shoulder muscles reminiscent of what I had at the beginning of this illness

almost 4 years ago. Symptoms worsened without the antibiotics in my system. When

I started the antibiotics again those symptoms started to improve.

>

> 3. Here is the part that gets pretty strange about these thoughts and my

theory. I read recently that Bartonella is found not just in vectors such as

ticks, mites, spiders, biting flies, mosquitoes, etc., but also in dust.

Bartonella is a bacteria found also in dust. Many people have become infected

with something while just doing yard work, or in some cases, while sitting

across the table from someone with this same affliction. People with Morgellons

have often reported things flying off of them. Could something in the dust be

biting us? I used to think it was mites in the dust, but now I am wondering if

it is the dust itself with the Bartonella in it that causes the biting symptoms

and the crawling.

>

> 4. From what I am reading from LLMD's such as Dr. Schiller, Bartonella has

become the newest fastest growing infectious disease and is increasing at an

alarming rate worldwide. Why would it be that Bartonella has become the most

prevalent infectious disease throughout the world now? Possibilities included

are a) genetic alteration of various bacteria (I read that Bartonella species

were developed as bioweapons), global warming causing the increase of growth

in certain bacterias and fungi c) chemtrail vapors contaminating the environment

with this bioweaponized form of Bartonella d) being bit more frequently by ticks

or other vectors that are giving us these diseases.

>

> After the mites are gone is Bartonella still harbored in the body? The answer

to that is yes. Many of the sensations I experience are Bartonella symptoms.

Many of the people on this forum only started to get well when they started

taking antibiotics, in fact, I'd say the majority of people here. Aandraya had

all the typical symptoms of Lyme, Bartonella and Babesia. She no longer has

fibers or sensations of biting, or crawling or movement on the body as she has

been on antibiotics for over 2 years and antifungals as well. If Bartonella is

contained in dust (and yes, much of my house dust contains fibers which are

blue), it is the dust we have to be careful of.

on my mind today. I couldn't sleep so I'll post it now.

Very Interesting post.

What is your view on hair? And the relation of why some have problems with their

hair, having to keep it cut and or shaved?

Would like to hear your view. Mik
