Guest guest Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hey All, Have any of you used Rifampin for Bart with your children? We are getting ready to start it this weekend with our kids. I've heard it turns sweat, urine, tears orange and can cause a big herx. Can you tell me if it helped your kids and just your general experience with it. Thanks so much!

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 TB?Sent from my iPhone Its one of the big guns, yes it turns every in body fluids orange. My son had too much of a reaction and had to stop it. ( I cannot recall what the big side effect was, but it was enough that we had to stop it). Its the one antibx that gets to in the brain to kill Bart, also used to treat T.B. as well. Allie > > > > > Hey All, > > Have any of you used Rifampin for Bart with your children?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi ,yes,my son and I have Chronic Lyme and co's.The dr. prescribed the Rifampin for us for several years.I had a huge herx,but my son didn't seem to.It was just him not tolerating any medicines.I found this out after giving it to him for about 1-2 yr. ..The dr. kept thinking that he was herxing,but it just made him sicker as time went by.This is a thing that I wish I would have used my mom instinc and stopped it earlier.But since that I consulted another LLMD and he said it probably helped the infection load anyway.I feel as though my chronic Lyme and co.'s would have never gone away without it.Great stuff in my eyes. Good luck and hope you have positives after die off. Tammy F. Hey All, Have any of you used Rifampin for Bart with your children? We are getting ready to start it this weekend with our kids.
