I'm interested in alternative treatments to Lyme Disease/Bartonella Infection.
I'm a 29 year old female diagnosed with chronic Lyme and Bartonella. I was on a course of antibiotics for 9 months straight, with little improvement, until I began a new, much more tough regimen. I'm currently on 3 antibiotics and 1 antifungal and a bunch of supplements and most of my symptoms have gone away. I feel significantly better, but I'm still not 100%, and I can't seem to lose weight while on antibiotics. Plus, the effects of long-term antibiotics scare me, but trust me, if you were in my shoes, you would do the same thing. When I didn't have the right antibiotics I was "nuts" for better lack of terminology. I would have crying and rage-fits, anxiety and panic attacks all day long, neurological problems, cognitive problems, I even have a lesion on the right side of my brain.
I don't think I could give up this course of antibiotics yet, but I am always looking for alternative treatments, as well. If anyone has any knowledge of anything other than antibiotics that work for Lyme or Bartonella, please let me know. Thanks very much, I've lost most of my hope, so I'm praying maybe I can find some in this forum.
