Avatar f tn If you've read any good web pages or research articles about Bartonella, could you post a link here please? I haven't found much other than the usual superficial stuff. I'd really love to read something that goes into a bit of depth on what bartonella can do to your guts, how it damages joints, something up to date on which abx or herbs are best for treating it.... frankly anything would be interesting. Thanks folks.
Avatar m tn I have had a round of Avelox a few weeks ago and recently Omnicef 600mg/day for 10 days and still have discharge. Question, wouldn't these antibiotics be affective against NGU, Chlamydia or Gonnorrhea? Thanks for the help.
1373852 tn?1307843048 I wake up at night wheezy,coughing up white or clear phlem . I also have chest heaviness and itchiness in the chest area. I feel like there is phlem stuck in my throat and my nose feels stuffed.When it is hot out I get these same symptoms.could this be asthmatic bronchitis or something else. I took antibiotics and they didn't help so the doctor gave me avelox(a stronger antibiotic)I am afraid to take it because there are so many dangerous side effects.
Avatar m tn After trying Doxy, Azithromycin, and Flagyl, the only antibiotic that finally worked was Avelox. The question now is what I should treat my partner with. I know from my experience that my NGU was passed sexually, and she needs to get treated before we can have sex again. The problem, is that she said she is allergic to Avelox. Another problem, is that since it is NGU, we cannot test to confirm if the bacteria is cured, and she is also asymptomatic.
Avatar m tn I have tendonitis as a result of taking Avelox. Is this a condition that can be treated like other tendonitis and what is the prognisis?
Avatar f tn I was hoping that some of you out there might be able to tell me what the long term effects of bartonella are. I was diagnosed with bartonella 9 years ago when I was 18. At the time I was treated with erythromycin and then I never had any follow up. I didn't intentionally not follow up, I was not told to come back. Just to take the antibiotics and I'd be good to go.
Avatar f tn I also had a brain MRI and EEG which was normal. I recently came across a lot of websites about their kitten giving them Bartonella. I doubt that I have lyme disease since I live in Las Vegas and it seems uncommon. I read a lot of bartonella patients also complaining about brain fog. Perhaps if I do have it, the symptoms never cleared up because he continued to bite and claw me on a regular basis for years. I don't have any symptoms such as pain or burning or anything.

Avatar f tn Avelox... I went yesterday and saw a lung specialist, he calmed me down and told me that i only have a little pneumonia in my lower left side it's nothing to be worried about. It's the bronchitis that's causing a lot of pain in my chest and back that I did not have prior to the antibiotics.
660680 tn?1225215237 A few days after the exposure I statrted taking an antibiotic, Avelox, for a sinus issue. Over the weekend I statrted to itch but with no visible signs of a rash. The question I have is this an early sign of HIV infection? Were my blood tests too close to exposure and therefore worthless? Is the "itch" a possible adverse reaction to the Avelox. I stopped taking the antibiotic today. Just overly concerned and need some reassurance that I have not contracted HIV.
Avatar n tn I recently developed an upper respitory infection and bronchitis and one of the medications was AVELOX. Within 3 days the severe pain in my shoulders was GONE. How is this possible? Was it a viral infection causing my pains and if so could it be a form of Lyme Disease?
Avatar f tn treated with doxycycline by end of june for 1 wk. started on avelox end of july for 1 wk. then given levaquin for a wk. by last wk doc said she didn't think was infection cause levaquin shoudl have killed anything, even though I was still having gobs of green phlegm coming down the back of my throat and out of my lungs. she sent me to the asthma and allergy clinic where i was tested for 27 diff allergies all negative for.
Avatar n tn t abated, provider considered trich, and mycoplasm as possible culprits). I was also put on avelox 400 mg for 10 days as well. Currently I have 6 days remaining on the doxycycline and 9 days remaining on the avelox. I have not engaged in any sexual activity whatsoever since my diagnosis however I still have a very mild clear mucus discharge primarily in the morning; the penile itching and dysuria has abated.
Avatar f tn t show any Lyme antibodies who turned out to have chronic Bartonella insead. Bartonella testing is unreliable with many patients testing false negative. In one recent study, half the people infected with Bartonella had a species from which there is no commercial test, meaning that they'd be negative on standard tests. There is a culture test at Galaxy Labs that takes 3 draws of blood in one week. (Bartonella moves in and out of the blood in a 5-7 day cycle.

Avatar f tn Do people who have had cat scratch disease (bartonella) and are experiencing alot of the Bartonella symptoms 20 yrs later have to have longer more intense treatment? I have also read somewhere that bartonella "IS" a disease and "LYME" Is it's co-infection??
Avatar n tn - After two days of suffering ithcing in my urethra, followed by a frequent urge to urinate, I began to take some left over Avelox (400 mg) that I had on hand. Trust me, I know this was dumb. 36 hours after I began taking the Avelox (one dose on Friday night at 5:30 pm and one on Saturday at 5:00 pm) I had a swab for gonorrhea and chlamydia (1:45 pm on Sunday). The test results just came back negative. Is it possible that the Avelox ruined the test results?
4939681 tn?1361299299 be it infection or otherwise) and he wants to do a bartonella test since I was exposed to diseased cats numerous times at a local shelter. I said that a Bart's test sounded like a great idea since I had heard that it could be related to Lyme. He then said that "no, bartonella has nothing to do with Lyme". "It's cat-scratch fever and they are not related at all other than similar symptoms".
Avatar f tn I was headed out to the dentist on Tuesday morning, and I had a mini anxiety attack. I haven't had one in at least 7 months, and we had concluded my Bartonella was gone because of that. Even when I stopped all abx in the summer, Bartonella symptoms (primarily anxiety for me) did not return. Has anybody had Bart symptoms come back after being gone that long? Or am I over thinking this and it was probably just a Lyme thing? It is really bugging me.
Avatar f tn Are there other co-morbid conditions such as hypertension ,diabetes, immunocompromised and other conditions present? Bartonella henselae is responsible for a number of illnesses such as cat scratch disease,bacillary angiomatosis, bacteremia, endocarditis, and peliosis hepatis. Bacteremia, or bacteria in the blood,can cause blood poisoning, which, if untreated, can lead to multiple organ failure.Any illness caused by B.
Avatar m tn Am I correct in thinking that bartonella is little pinky spots sporadically spaced out. Thats what I have at the moment on my chest...
