zithromax for bartonella

I use to have to have IV fluids all the time when I first got sick. I lost 40 lbs the first month. Then I gained a lot of weight because I became hypothyroid. Now I am normal. Anyway, I also had a lesion on my spleen too. It looks and feels like a regular ulcer. The ones in my brain got me misdiagnosed with MS. They first gave me Levaquin for Bart's but it gave me tendonitis, a side effect so I switched to Zithromax and Rifampin.

If you do not choose to biopsy, and while waiting for the culture and sensitivity results, your vet could try treating your cat with prednisolone, vitamin E, and with the antibiotic Zithromax. The prednisolone and vitamin E would be for the auto-immune part of the disease and the Zithromax should cover the secondary bacterial infection. Zithromax is excellent for upper respiratory infections and it also is effective against Bartonella.

hello i have been lurking around for a long time but finally am posting since i have some questions and hoped to get some feedback here. i have been sick for a number of years and after seeing more than 30 drs, i am in treatment with an LLMD for lyme and coinfections--most recently with zithro & artemisinin for babesia. i am seronegative for babesia & bartonella and most recent results showed IND bands 39 & 41 on IgM, and IgG was band 31 ++, band 41+, and IND band 39.

Have you considered lyme disease? Facial tinging is a common lyme symptom See the symptom list far below. (This is only some of them...there are really more than 70.) The key to getting diagnosed properly is the doctor. I had a terrible time back in Feb-April of 2010 with weird symptoms, dizziness, anxiety, forgetfulness, brian fog, twitching, etc, etc. I had dozens of tests, including a lyme ELISA test...all normal.

s thinking and testing! Are the results for Bartonella as difficult to read as Lymes? Also, he said the treatment for Bart is the same, doxycycline. However, I thought that I've read differently from you on here. What do you think??? Ps I'm still keeping my LLMD appt, unless mammogram indicates something else unfortunate.

I have tested positive for Bartonella. My doctor plans on adding Zithromax soon in addition to the mino I am on for the Lyme.

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.

I was with someone exposed to both. I am taking one dose of 1.5g of zithromax to stop or cure myself from catcing of having either one. Will this work and or do the job?

based on fact it recurred twice having taken 1g Zithromax but on 3rd attempt of 1g Zithromax it went away for 4years? I.e If it was MG in first instance it appeared to be resistant to first two doses of 1g Zithromax so it would't have gone away on the third dose. 4) Could it be herpes? I have no symptoms. Should I get a type specific HSV test? Would it give a definitive answer for herpes? 5) My regular partner was checked before for Chlym & Gono. Nothing found.

my wide took amoxcillin 1000 g 2 x times a day for a throat infection. She did this for 8 days. And i took 1g zithromax the same time and we didn't had sex for a week. Oktober: my wife was treated with azithromycine sandoz 1g and 500 mg the next day because she had her wisdom teeth removed. i took doxycycline 100 mg a day for 5 days and also 1,5 g zithromax on day 6. My wufe and i had sex after 7 days that i took the doxy and she the azithromycine. Questions.

t yet developed the infection, as would be indicated by the presence of a lesion or a positive blood test, than it takes for curative treatment. The augmentin taken twice daily for two weeks would certainly cure and prevent development of syphilis. The combination of cefixime and azithromycin would most probably prevent infection but it would not be curative if the infection was established.

Numbness in the hands and feet is one of the top two symptoms reported by people with Bartonella Henselae in a 2012 CDC funded study in Maryland. This neurological symptom can also feel like pins & needles, tingling, buzzing, or a feeling of cold water on the skin. I've had all of them with my b. henselae except the cold water feeling. Currently, my feet are buzzing. Mostly the left one.

This could be a result of the chlamydia, but it may be worth a call to your doctor. How are you taking the zithromax? You should have taken 1000 mgs at one time for it to be effective. It doesn't sound like that's what you're doing? https://www.cdc.gov/std/tg2015/chlamydia.htm - if you need to, show this to your doctor.

I was on it for 3 months with little improvement, and have just began taking Amox, Zithromax, and Flagyl Pulsed. With the information I've provided, does lyme disease seem like the correct diagnosis? Do you believe I can safely rule out MS? Also what do my lab results mean? I am so worried I may have something else and am treating the wrong thing. I appreciate your help! Thank you!

The only time that I have been on antibiotics during this time was for a sinus infection in 2007. I was prescribed Zithromax, which did not cure the infection, but flonase helped to clear the sinuses so that the infection went away. I felt no better or worse while on the Zithromax (i.e., no Herx). If there are no conclusive test results for any possible diagnosis, what would you do? Consider asking to go on abx for 4 weeks to see if there are any changes?

Meanwhile, she wants to lower my amoxicillin a bit and has ordered a script for Mepron for 1 tsp 2x day for week one then 1 1/2 tsp 2x day after that with a fatty meal. She also wants tme to take a supplement called Resbid to "keep my liver happy." I go for CBC, Complete metabolic panel and Mepron (Atovaquone) levels in three weeks to keep an eye on my inerds. Gotta say--I worry about doing more harm than good over time with all these serious drugs.
