Looking for advice

[Guest guest]

I highly recommend purchasing books so you can take notes, dog ear pages and

highlight information you want to re-read. But when purchasing a book is

not an option always check with your library. If the library doesn't

already carry the book, ask them to purchase it. Often times they will

purchase books when one person requests it.

Find a good Lyme doctor that can help you with your issues. Also a

good reference book is Coping with Lyme Disease: A Practical Guide to

Dealing with Diagnosis and Treatment (Paperback) by Lang.

From: KTOvrutsky@...

> I've just gone on IV Rocephin after 8 months of orals (I could have started

in Feb. but due to winter weather concerns decided to wait.) During my initial

consult I was told I would eventually need IV antibiotics. I did make some

modest progress on various combinations of oral abxs and my most severe symptoms

definitely went away.

Can anyone tell me what the benefit of IV antibiotics might be, compared to oral

abx?

Is it that you can get a larger dose, or that it's a more effective way to

disseminate the drug into the body.

Thanks!

Another option that many have successfully pursued is self treatment with

alternative methods. I document these as well antibiotic users posts on my

free lyme resource CD.

You can lead a person to a fact, but you can't make them think! -
