Have any of you with neuro symptoms (numbness, tingling, tinnitus and vestibular issues, mood swings, etc) been helped with just the oral ABX? I would like to hear about some success stories without going the IV route but not sure I will. Thanks.

I've been treating with orals, my neuro sxs have largely been eradicated.

I have every neuro symptom you can imagine... I tried treating with orals for almost two years with little improvement.
I started IV treatment December 1st and am already seeing a huge improvement. I still have a long way to go, but the IV route is definitely helping me more.

IV was huge for me too although I did get a lot out of ceftin and zith for 12 months straight (I was preggo).

Those on IV TX - how long have you been on IV? Have you ever stopped? And how was it for you then? Sorry for all the questions, but I have a big decision to make.
I have only been on oral ABX 4 months and my daughter's wedding is coming up in June. I'd like to give it some more time but my LL NP says start now. Other LLMD I went to for second opinion (who is more old school) does not think it is a good idea.

I went on IV abx for 2 months, then stopped due to insurance disapproving IV abx, and eventualy restarted a few months later on oral abx. I'm still not completely well, but off abx for over a year now and still seeing improvements. Abx did a lot for me and are not a help anymore.

My son did IV rocephin for 10 months and he improved a lot. Went from bedbound to back in school. I would make the same decision again only keep him on it for longer.
