They definitely are considering Bartonella and Babesia because of my entire symptom picture. I have mystery rashes on my face, neck and arms that come and go on a weekly basis (this started before the acute phase of my neuropathy pain). I know Bartonella has the potential to cause that; I know in some people it does also cause severe burning pain.
