Intersting! I can never tell which is which! I don't think I ever herxed, even on treatment. I was hurting and pretty constant symptoms. Maybe because I could not detox--I got pregnant and dr. said not to do it. So I am always amazed at what everyone is saying here LOL I feel like I had different bacteria, since I never know what is what!
I know for sure barto is still around, I get the painful soles. I do get the painful little patches on my scalp that come and go. Artheritic-like pain in my fingers, esp. the left hand, and about
numbness, pretty weird but is concentrated in my lips! The rest of the numbness is not lingering for long. Also, my soles, they get numb, too.
I get cramps in my feet and legs and I walk around like I am wearing high hills LOL to make them go away, and they do.
sometimes my hand up to the elbow is hurting--mostly my left. Very rarely, maybe once a week a knee is hurting or an ankle but not for long.
Propolis makes me 99% symptom free.
Don't be glad to find out this is barto--I am not! I've read an article that barto is 300x smaller than borellia. It is the smaller bacteria that is the tougher to get rid of.
Any thoughts on the above symptoms--if they are lyme or barto symptoms or both? I ordered herbs that cover lyme and barto from Buhrer's protocol. It would be kind of silly to take the lyme herbs if I don't need to. Are my symptoms all barto? I appreciate any thoughts--thanks!
I forgot to say--brain fog has not returned for 5+ years :)
