Dr. Lyme posted an interesting observation yesterday. Actually, all of his/her posts are interesting. This one's just more interesting than usual, especially since I'm embarking on a Bart hunt.
Speaking of which, I'm on my second dose of Rifampin and my heart is thumping away like John Henry racing the steam hammer. This one may be a bumpy ride.
I’ll be starting Rifampin and Mepron tomorrow. Is Rifampin used mainly to treat Bartonella?
Yes. That is my understanding, but I would suspect that it has crossover benefits for other bugs.
I just double checked with my LLMD because I thought I wrote it down wrong… he wants me to take Mepron, Zithromax, Rifampin and Diflucan. Holy hell!
Mepron was generally horrible for me when I first started. The taste is really special too.
Good luck!

I believe I can beat your full house with a straight flush: IV Zithro, IV Clindamycin, Mepron, Diflucan, Flagyl, Valtrex, AND Artemisinin. Hope the Rifampin becomes more tolerable. Bart treatment is next for me, can’t wait.
