For those who tested positive for brucella, what were your symptoms?

How did they differ from Lyme and Bartonella?

I am reading that it tends to involve the spine and can do some damage to vertebrae.

Thanks much

It is hard on your joints and back. I saw a couple of people with it at the clinic I was at. I have it's cross positive friend tularemia which also has similar symptoms. Unfortunately as you probably have figured out by now the symptoms are really vague and cross over with other infections a lot.

I just recently tested positive for Brucella after seeing a new LLMD after 9 months of Lyme and Co treatment with 2 other LLMDs.

For me the symptoms that now clearly point to Brucella are:
Low fevers coming and going all day almost everyday
GI issues and weight loss, if I am off antibiotics for even a day or two I get extremely sick to my stomach
Back Pain, the muscles are extremely tight and my back is always creaking and cracking, I have not gone to a doctor to specifically look at any damage to my spine, but I was just diagnosed with Brucella a couple of weeks ago, so I am sure that will be the next specialist I have to see

The rest of the symptoms I have could be Lyme, Babesia, Bartonella or Ehrlichia.

svalentina are you currently being treated for Brucella? If so how is it going?
