Is it Bartonella ?

Are you treating with an Lyme literate MD or natropath?

Isn't bartonella asymptomatic and self-limiting in healthy individuals according to the CDC?

Generally yes...that's what I've read. We can keep it in check - but if our immune system suffers then it becomes a problem.

This is isda false propaganda ,how much would it cost insurance if every one with cats needed antibiotics .
I blame buhner for furthering this misinformation

They discovered Bartonella from HIV patients withering away it is a double cell wall gram-negative 24-48hr replicating proteobacteria ith multiple flagella ,not to be taken lightly and may require years of treatment. It itself is immunosuppresive and i believe is the cause of my thrombocytopenia and nerve damage. Bart is not handled by any immune system imho
