Hi All,
I’ve recently been diagnosed with bartonella.
I didn’t know such hell on earth existed. 
Just wondering if any here have had any experiences? I’m so lost with all of it.

cat scratch fever. From what I understand there hasn't been a confirmed direct tick transfer from this. More likely to be fleas or infected animal as the transfer route.

So sorry you are going through this.
I have been life threateningly sick with Lyme in the past. Grateful that I am doing well. This was back when Lyme was marginalized and symptoms often considered in one’s head.
I can’t imagine what you must be going through. I hope you find the needed health care and experience full recovery.
