Hi all, I'm on ceftriaxone week 2th. (4 days IV, 3 days off) 12 hours after my last dose, the symptom Lyme come back, it's not a die-off. It's not a same thing. I don't understand..... it's so quickly! Can I give the power to the bacteria after several years of abx? It's always very active Someone had a similar experience? Adagio

YES, that will ALMOST ALWAYS HAPPEN unless you are transitioned to ORAL ANTIBIOTICS afterward and then kept on until symptom-free for 2-3 months. It is almost guaranteed to happen otherwise in my experience. Sounds like you have a doctor inexperienced at treating Lyme or one who adheres to the guidelines of the IDSA. Sorry to read your experience. I did IV Rocephin and have sustained all gains for 8+ years now because I transitioned to orals. You need to get a good LLMD, Lyme doc, who will not take you off abx until you are well. Go to the Seeking Doctors column of this board and post to find one. I am sorry you've had this experience. Sincerely, Sarah
