A member asked:

I have a striae like rash on my thighs, sides, & butt, swollen & tender lymph nodes in my neck, headaches, myalgia, & fatigue. could it be bartonella?

See a pro: What, exactly, do you mean by "bartonella"? Do you use IV street drugs? Do you have a cat? Clearly you cannot resolve this on the internet. You need an infectious disease specialist.

Maybe??: Early signs of bartonellosis include fever, fatigue, head-ache, poor appetite, rash that looks like “stretch marks” & swollen glands. Bartonella tests: Tests: immunofluorescent fluorescent antibody (IFA) assays for IgM &d IgG antibodies. cultures and DNA PCR. Get evaluated to know the cause of your symptoms.
