Elrichia is one of the positives I got on my dna connexions test. I hear very little about this one. Anyone here have it and if so what are your symptoms? apparently its transmitted by the lone star tick. when I google it is has some basic info but not too much discussion. my issues are all respiratory and cardiac. As well as lots of inflammation in abdomen. ( and some ear and eye issues)

upon giemsa stain one can distinguish erlichia as having invaded the cytoplasm of white blood cells. 6 months of doxy did not clear my fathers erlichia. its probably close to mycoplasma or cpn treatment but bartonella coverage should hit it some imho

Erhlicea is the only positive i got ever and that was from that cali lab cant rember the name, my 2 main symptoms are chest tightness and high heart rate with very little exertion also a dull ache always in the center of my chest. DR J's babs protocol got my air hunger to about 80-85% from like 30%. Now the bart protocol has me doing slightly more physical work. He never mentioned anything specific for erhlicea i just assumed the babs and bart would hit it too.

I tested positive only for Lyme and ehrlichia via DNA Connexions. I have many symptoms of bartonella and some of babesia and have CIRS from mold. Honestly, I have assumed most of my symptoms were from mold and bartonella with occasional questions of possible babesia. I have never really even identified much with Lyme. Found very little written about erhlichia and none about chronic symptoms.

Early life symptoms:
- trouble falling asleep and staying asleep
- constipation
- sensitivities to sound, light, touch, and smell
- bilateral hearing loss
- aching pains in knees and leg bones at night
- headaches (remember afternoon headaches as far back as 4th grade; always seemed to occur after lunch around 2pm)
- frequent urination and urgency (probably barty bladder)
- mild, occasional air hunger started around age 6
- unusually rapid heart rate
- couldn’t run or climb stairs without heart beating out of my chest, gasping for breath, and legs turning to spaghetti noodles
- lack of muscle strength in core, back, stomach, and lower body
- tired, headache-ish, and groggy-headed much of the time
- anxious and irritable a lot when I didn’t feel my best physically; rarely felt my best physically

I will stop with that. The list is already too long, and that’s before I ever even got sick.

do you think you only have elrichia? the chest tightness and high heart rate are some of my main symptoms too--- but I also have a squeezing pressure feeling in my chest and diaphragm. I am currently one week into an herbal protocol guided by a good herbalist that is supposed to go after bart babesia and elrichia so we will see.
I never thought about elrichia till it came up positive on my dna connexions test but it may be a big factor for me.

Im guessing I had or still have babs and bart and probably lyme I was positive for 1 band I think 41 the one that is the tail of the spirochete. My chest felt like a tight belt wrapped around it but i never had tightness in the diaphragm. I do think my stomache is bloated all the time. But the only time i had pain there was when i stopped taking prednisone after years of use and my adrenals stopped working. Or taking abx on empty stomach. Did I see you had ear pain in another post? I had some type of pain from my left collar bone up to my ear that went away after a few months of abx. I hope the new herbs help you out, I did about 4 months of herbs but my chest tightness came back it was never completely gone. May have just been the alchol in the tinctures though not really sure
