I'm remembering back to 1995 and 1996. Yes, after my first two weeks of being on Rocephin and feeling like nothing was happening, then the misery started.
Every inch of me hurt. I felt horrible. I figured that my body had become like a battlefield on which a powerful bacteria,the spirochete, and a powerful antibiotic, Rocephin were fighting it out.
After being on Rocephin for a period of time, and from memory, even though I still felt bad, my brain improved tremendously. But then sometimes my brain would also decline.
Overall, I think Rocephin is fantastic......
But I have a modern take on antibiotics (of which I'm still on all these years, and need them to function).
I think something is not quite right with some of our best antibiotics today. I have had the same prescriptions filled back-to-back, one month the prescription is fine, the next month something is not right with the prescription.
So I am not trying to worry you, but possibly the efficacy of the Rocephin is not always the best, as, I suspect, is the issue with some of our other medications today.
I have no answer.
But I do wish you feel better and improve. Somehow keep smiling.
Oh, one more bit of information. I did find that intramuscular ceftriaxone (the generic of Rocephin), that is shots, is just as effective as getting it intravenously (through a mediport or the like).
I hope I've been helpful at all. We're all behind you.
