Guest guest Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Foot pain, joint pain would come and go, buzzing/electrical sensation under the skin-especially at night, pin prick sensations, biting, stabbing sensations, blister like spots, lesions that don't really heal, inflammation- especially ankles and auxiliaries, enlarged blue veins, spider veins, debris coming out of skin, skin thickening and in some areas thinning, hair falling out, body hair not growing and/or growing under the skin, white mottled spots on skin, subcutaneous skin nodules, lumpiness and hard-packed tissue under the skin, headaches, insomnia, later on leathery like texture of skin. Hypersensitive and painful skin. Brain fog, memory loss, anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, rage, suicidal thoughts.Of course I had the insect infestation in my living environment and on my body for the first year including fuzz balls on all fabric. I did all the cleaning regimens and tried every chemical and natural skin topical known to man. Spent thousands of dollars.Now all of these symptoms are diminished, some gone, some come and go, and of course when you treat with antibiotics the herxheimer effect is no picnic. The symptoms WILL get worse before they get better. There is no way around this based on personal experience and that of others who have gone through it.AandrayaOn Sep 8, 2011, at 4:51 PM, goldstein <Goldstein@...> wrote: Please tell us what your symptoms were with bartonella and what they are now 4 months later.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Here is something from Joyce Meyer that is helping me right now - God's Word vs. Your Feelingsby Joyce Meyer Every day, we are faced with a decision: Will we respond to life's circumstances according to God's Word or will we react emotionally? The initial temptation is to react emotionally, but in every circumstance, it's truly your decision. Let's examine three circumstances you're going to have to face at some point in your life. I've also included some questions to ask yourself, which I encourage you to answer honestly. They will give you a good idea of how big a part your feelings play in these circumstances. Circumstance #1: Change Everything changes except God, and letting all the changes in our lives upset us won't keep them from occurring. People change, circumstances change, our bodies change, our desires and passions change. Most changes take place without our permission. But we can choose to adapt. Adapting doesn't change the circumstances, but it does keep you living in peace and joy as you go through change. First Things First Our thoughts are the first thing we need to deal with during change because thoughts directly affect emotions. When circumstances change, make the transition mentally, and your emotions will be a lot easier to manage. If something changes that you are not ready for and did not choose, you will more than likely have a variety of emotions about it. The Power of God's Word “Emotions rise up and then move out, wanting us to follow them. When I feel that, I know I need to take action.” By acting on God's Word and not merely reacting to the situation, you'll be able to manage your emotions instead of allowing them to manage you. I strongly recommend confessing the Word of God out loud. Even though what you confess may be the opposite of how you feel, keep doing it. God's Word has inherent power to change our feelings, bring comfort to us, and quiet our distraught emotions. Ask Yourself How do I respond to change? Do I act on God's Word or merely react to the situation? After the initial shock, am I willing to make a transition mentally and emotionally? Circumstance #2: Waiting If you have not developed patience, then having to wait may bring out the worst in you. At least that was the case with me until I finally realized my emotional reactions were not making things go any faster. We would all like to be patient, but we don't want to develop patience because that means behaving well while we are not getting what we want. And that's hard! The Road to Peacefulness The more we want something, the more our emotions will act up if we do not get it. Common sense tells us it is rather foolish to get into a rage over a parking space or other simple things people tend to get upset about. As you develop patience, don't merely think about how hard and frustrating it is, think about how peaceful you will be when waiting never bothers you (see 1:4). Ask Yourself How do I behave when I have to wait? What situations are difficult for me? How do I act when I'm working with someone who is really slow? How do I act if someone takes the parking space I've been waiting for? On a scale of 1 to 10, how well do I handle myself when things don't go my way? Circumstance #3: Difficult People No one likes being around difficult people. I think there are a lot of people in the world like that today, largely because of the stressful lives most of them have. People are trying to do too much in too little time and have more responsibility than they can realistically handle. When someone is rude to me, I can feel my emotions rise up and then move out, wanting me to follow them. That's when I know I need to take action. I have to remember that the person being rude probably has a lot of problems. She may not even realize how she sounds. Working with the Holy Spirit I certainly remember lots of times in my life when people asked me why I was being so harsh. I didn't realize that I was. I just had a lot going on and felt pressured, so the pressure came through in harsh voice tones. That didn't excuse my bad behavior, but it was the root of the problem. I am very thankful I know the Word of God and have Him in my life to help and comfort me. But a lot of difficult people don't have that. I have had to work very hard with the Holy Spirit for the ability to act on God's Word when people are rude…instead of merely reacting with a behavior that matches or tops theirs. Jesus teaches us how to respond to those who treat us well and those who do not (see Luke 6:32–35). If you are in a situation that requires you to be with one of these hard-to-get-along-with people every day, I urge you to pray for them instead of reacting emotionally to them. Our prayers open a door for God to work through. Ask Yourself How do I react to people who are rude? Do I respond in love as the Word says we should, or do I join them in their ungodly behavior? Will I act on the Word of God and love them for His sake? Or will I react emotionally, perhaps acting worse than they act? Have I ever let a rude person ruin my day? Live Beyond Your Feelings Feelings will come and go. We can't escape them, but when we choose to live by God's Word and not our feelings. Even when it doesn't feel right, we can live with an incredible peace and joy. I encourage you to go through the questions again and search God's Word in every circumstance you face. He will help you live beyond your feelings! This article is taken from Joyce's book, Living Beyond On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 9:46 PM, <terelynjon@...> wrote: Earth's Bounty.

But from what I hear Levaquin is the topline treatment for Bart, it has been for me. Make sure you're on magnesium a couple weeks before taking it 800-1000 mg Mag glycinate, and stay on it throughout treatment- take 3 hrs away from Levaquin. The herxes are much more tolerable and less likely to have tendon issues that some get on Levaquin. The herx for me was brutal, but I'm not working. Start at 500 mg a day an hour away from food, after several months 500mg 2x a day. When I doubled the dose the herx was not as bad as when I first started on Levaquin. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Great words!CFrom: <terelynjon@...>bird mites Sent: Friday, September 9, 2011 4:34 AMSubject: Re: Moving Here is something from Joyce Meyer that is helping me right now - God's Word vs. Your Feelingsby Joyce Meyer Every day, we are faced with a decision: Will we respond to life's circumstances according to God's Word or will we react emotionally? The initial temptation is to react emotionally, but in every circumstance, it's truly your decision. Let's examine three circumstances you're going to have to face at some point in your life. I've also included some questions to ask yourself, which I encourage you to answer honestly. They will give you a good idea of how big a part your feelings play in these circumstances. Circumstance #1: Change Everything changes except God, and letting all the changes in our lives upset us won't keep them from occurring. People change, circumstances change, our bodies change, our desires and passions change. Most changes take place without our permission. But we can choose to adapt. Adapting doesn't change the circumstances, but it does keep you living in peace and joy as you go through change. First Things First Our thoughts are the first thing we need to deal with during change because thoughts directly affect emotions. When circumstances change, make the transition mentally, and your emotions will be a lot easier to manage. If something changes that you are not ready for and did not choose, you will more than likely have a variety of emotions about it. The Power of God's Word “Emotions rise up and then move out, wanting us to follow them. When I feel that, I know I need to take action.†By acting on God's Word and not merely reacting to the situation, you'll be able to manage your emotions instead of allowing them to manage you. I strongly recommend confessing the Word of God out loud. Even though what you confess may be the opposite of how you feel, keep doing it. God's Word has inherent power to change our feelings, bring comfort to us, and quiet our distraught emotions. Ask Yourself How do I respond to change? Do I act on God's Word or merely react to the situation? After the initial shock, am I willing to make a transition mentally and emotionally? Circumstance #2: Waiting If you have not developed patience, then having to wait may bring out the worst in you. At least that was the case with me until I finally realized my emotional reactions were not making things go any faster. We would all like to be patient, but we don't want to develop patience because that means behaving well while we are not getting what we want. And that's hard! The Road to Peacefulness The more we want something, the more our emotions will act up if we do not get it. Common sense tells us it is rather foolish to get into a rage over a parking space or other simple things people tend to get upset about. As you develop patience, don't merely think about how hard and frustrating it is, think about how peaceful you will be when waiting never bothers you (see 1:4). Ask Yourself How do I behave when I have to wait? What situations are difficult for me? How do I act when I'm working with someone who is really slow? How do I act if someone takes the parking space I've been waiting for? On a scale of 1 to 10, how well do I handle myself when things don't go my way? Circumstance #3: Difficult People No one likes being around difficult people. I think there are a lot of people in the world like that today, largely because of the stressful lives most of them have. People are trying to do too much in too little time and have more responsibility than they can realistically handle. When someone is rude to me, I can feel my emotions rise up and then move out, wanting me to follow them. That's when I know I need to take action. I have to remember that the person being rude probably has a lot of problems. She may not even realize how she sounds. Working with the Holy Spirit I certainly remember lots of times in my life when people asked me why I was being so harsh. I didn't realize that I was. I just had a lot going on and felt pressured, so the pressure came through in harsh voice tones. That didn't excuse my bad behavior, but it was the root of the problem. I am very thankful I know the Word of God and have Him in my life to help and comfort me. But a lot of difficult people don't have that. I have had to work very hard with the Holy Spirit for the ability to act on God's Word when people are rude…instead of merely reacting with a behavior that matches or tops theirs. Jesus teaches us how to respond to those who treat us well and those who do not (see Luke 6:32–35). If you are in a situation that requires you to be with one of these hard-to-get-along-with people every day, I urge you to pray for them instead of reacting emotionally to them. Our prayers open a door for God to work through. Ask Yourself How do I react to people who are rude? Do I respond in love as the Word says we should, or do I join them in their ungodly behavior? Will I act on the Word of God and love them for His sake? Or will I react emotionally, perhaps acting worse than they act? Have I ever let a rude person ruin my day? Live Beyond Your Feelings Feelings will come and go. We can't escape them, but when we choose to live by God's Word and not our feelings. Even when it doesn't feel right, we can live with an incredible peace and joy. I encourage you to go through the questions again and search God's Word in every circumstance you face. He will help you live beyond your feelings! This article is taken from Joyce's book, Living Beyond On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 9:46 PM, <terelynjon@...> wrote: Earth's Bounty.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hey & A - I tested positive for Bart, as well. I've tried most meds - I am allergic to sulfa based abx so my choices are somewhat limited. I did do Rifampin - it made me feel awful....joint pain everywhere and so incredibly tired. However, now I know I was probably going through a severe herx phase. I may go back on it. Flagyl works almost immediately for me but it is a hard med to stay on long term. I develop terrible yeast infections on this med (too much information for some but it's the truth). That being said, with Flagyl and old school penicillin my brain fog has definitely lifted and the strange swelling in various places (under eyes, knee caps, etc.) has greatly reduced. I still have skin issues from time to time and of course my scalp and hair continue to be problematic. I did do praz. and did not have any results. I stayed on it about a month - perhaps not enough time. I've gone back to a weekly dose of ivermectin for now. Anyhow, just thought I would share my experience. I had my eyebrows waxed yesterday (now explain to me why the hair on my head is nearly gone but my eyebrows grow like weeds - wish it were the other way around). The gal who did my waxing has Lyme and Bart - she showed me her legs - they were covered in red bumps - I mean covered. I felt so sad for her and for everyone in general. There is no reason someone should have to fight so hard to be recognized by the medical community when the signs are so obvious. I'll get off my soap box now .

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Joyce is really good! Thanks .Sent from my iPodOn Sep 8, 2011, at 7:34 PM, <terelynjon@...> wrote: Here is something from Joyce Meyer that is helping me right now - God's Word vs. Your Feelingsby Joyce Meyer Every day, we are faced with a decision: Will we respond to life's circumstances according to God's Word or will we react emotionally? The initial temptation is to react emotionally, but in every circumstance, it's truly your decision. Let's examine three circumstances you're going to have to face at some point in your life. I've also included some questions to ask yourself, which I encourage you to answer honestly. They will give you a good idea of how big a part your feelings play in these circumstances. Circumstance #1: Change Everything changes except God, and letting all the changes in our lives upset us won't keep them from occurring. People change, circumstances change, our bodies change, our desires and passions change. Most changes take place without our permission. But we can choose to adapt. Adapting doesn't change the circumstances, but it does keep you living in peace and joy as you go through change. First Things First Our thoughts are the first thing we need to deal with during change because thoughts directly affect emotions. When circumstances change, make the transition mentally, and your emotions will be a lot easier to manage. If something changes that you are not ready for and did not choose, you will more than likely have a variety of emotions about it. The Power of God's Word “Emotions rise up and then move out, wanting us to follow them. When I feel that, I know I need to take action.†By acting on God's Word and not merely reacting to the situation, you'll be able to manage your emotions instead of allowing them to manage you. I strongly recommend confessing the Word of God out loud. Even though what you confess may be the opposite of how you feel, keep doing it. God's Word has inherent power to change our feelings, bring comfort to us, and quiet our distraught emotions. Ask Yourself How do I respond to change? Do I act on God's Word or merely react to the situation? After the initial shock, am I willing to make a transition mentally and emotionally? Circumstance #2: Waiting If you have not developed patience, then having to wait may bring out the worst in you. At least that was the case with me until I finally realized my emotional reactions were not making things go any faster. We would all like to be patient, but we don't want to develop patience because that means behaving well while we are not getting what we want. And that's hard! The Road to Peacefulness The more we want something, the more our emotions will act up if we do not get it. Common sense tells us it is rather foolish to get into a rage over a parking space or other simple things people tend to get upset about. As you develop patience, don't merely think about how hard and frustrating it is, think about how peaceful you will be when waiting never bothers you (see 1:4). Ask Yourself How do I behave when I have to wait? What situations are difficult for me? How do I act when I'm working with someone who is really slow? How do I act if someone takes the parking space I've been waiting for? On a scale of 1 to 10, how well do I handle myself when things don't go my way? Circumstance #3: Difficult People No one likes being around difficult people. I think there are a lot of people in the world like that today, largely because of the stressful lives most of them have. People are trying to do too much in too little time and have more responsibility than they can realistically handle. When someone is rude to me, I can feel my emotions rise up and then move out, wanting me to follow them. That's when I know I need to take action. I have to remember that the person being rude probably has a lot of problems. She may not even realize how she sounds. Working with the Holy Spirit I certainly remember lots of times in my life when people asked me why I was being so harsh. I didn't realize that I was. I just had a lot going on and felt pressured, so the pressure came through in harsh voice tones. That didn't excuse my bad behavior, but it was the root of the problem. I am very thankful I know the Word of God and have Him in my life to help and comfort me. But a lot of difficult people don't have that. I have had to work very hard with the Holy Spirit for the ability to act on God's Word when people are rude…instead of merely reacting with a behavior that matches or tops theirs. Jesus teaches us how to respond to those who treat us well and those who do not (see Luke 6:32–35). If you are in a situation that requires you to be with one of these hard-to-get-along-with people every day, I urge you to pray for them instead of reacting emotionally to them. Our prayers open a door for God to work through. Ask Yourself How do I react to people who are rude? Do I respond in love as the Word says we should, or do I join them in their ungodly behavior? Will I act on the Word of God and love them for His sake? Or will I react emotionally, perhaps acting worse than they act? Have I ever let a rude person ruin my day? Live Beyond Your Feelings Feelings will come and go. We can't escape them, but when we choose to live by God's Word and not our feelings. Even when it doesn't feel right, we can live with an incredible peace and joy. I encourage you to go through the questions again and search God's Word in every circumstance you face. He will help you live beyond your feelings! This article is taken from Joyce's book, Living Beyond On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 9:46 PM, <terelynjon@...> wrote: Earth's Bounty.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yes, I think it could be, and I think it could be both, and there may be multiple things going on seeing that you had the mite problem. Usually when lesions don't heal and keep coming back there's something going on internally. The bleach thing, I did it, I was desparate like we all get. It does absorb into the skin and get in the bloodstream. And you're right, the skin issues eventually come back.AandrayaOn Sep 9, 2011, at 2:18 AM, Cecilia Borg <ceciliaborg@...> wrote: Hi, Aandraya!Do you think it can be Bartonella even if the skinscrapings were tested as staph?The whole family could get some of it before, but now when the 8-year old takes the bleachbaths she is so much better and the rest of the family has no lesions/blisters.Would that be the case even with Bartonella?They say the bleachbaths is like going to the swimminghall - do you still think it is toxic?

A lo of my things were stored for a year, but many things I kept with me. When I treated the chronic infections whatever was in my environment and on me gradually went away. It took about a year. Now I have all my old things and no more infestation whatsoever. Of course I'm still treating Lyme and other chronic infections. Slow and steady. Cleaning and topical applications will only temporarily calm the situation. Aandraya On Sep 8, 2011, at 1:14 PM, whatstheuse2 <terelynjon@...> wrote: Hi, I'm thinking about moving in with my parents.
