anyone done IM with IV together? i've never heard of that.
been sliding a bit on IM bicillin (1.2 units 3 times a week plus probenecid). doc wants to continue shots and add IV.
most likely claforan 6 grams a day 5 days a week. my other choice is rocephin 4 grams a day 4 days a week, which i've done and has helped, but it didn't sustain.
i'm on ketek and flagyl (1500mg a day every other week) too.
just started methyl B12 shots also. don't know if the latter will help, (so far just makes my pee red, which is kind of sci-fi cool), but a friend of friend of mine who is a year in remission from chronic lyme said the methyl B12 shots worked really well.
best of luck...

i guess no one has gone down this road before then.
i found claforan at 6grams a day for only about 300 bucks a week through an abx wholesale company in florida. one third the price of Rocephin at 4 grams a day. who would've known?
well if this treatment gets me back over the top i'll let you all know. should be quite strong.
best...

Hi Zip ..... Just wanted to answer your post even though I have never done IV or IM. I am thinking of IM but just started a new ABX combo so I am gonna see how that works first.
There's gotta be someone out there who has done your combo before ..... maybe beringing this uo again will help.
Good Luck with it.....
How are you feeling in general?

Yes, I did Bicillin injections while on IV Zithromax, and also IM Rocephin injections. Flagyl was oral pills for me. These combinations worked really well.
