Hi Metta, my son became sick with the flu and possibly had strep around the same time, but didn’t know he had strep until we had titers run. We now believe he had underlying tick infections, but had no symptoms of those at the time….we also found out late. We think the combo pushed his immune system too much. He’s doing better now, has been on antibiotics for a while. Not sure if he will ever be 100 percent his old self again, but we are trying.

So glad to know you've seeing some improvements, and I do hope they will be continuing in the days ahead. I also know the tick infections can be a problem, too.

Have you, by any chance, explored any of these possible co-infections, just in case there might be a connection?

Wishing you and your son all the best!

Thank you. Yes, we believe he has bartonella and anaplasmosis. The galaxy tests came back negative for bartonella, but only tested two strains….but my son’s symptoms are almost all neuropsychiatric so I am suspicious. We did a vibrant wellness test that was positive, but I feel it’s a lot reliable as tests go.

Have you looked into Low Dose Naltrexone?
