Hi LN, I have the opportunity to do some iv and was wondering peoples experience on rocephin.? Is there another iv that will hit bart /myco that i should request ?.
I am doing bvt ,rife herbs,h202 and some orals but i feel like its not enough for my als like symptoms. Does bart have a cell wall?
I was told by art tester that bart and viruses are up front , i know i am playing with fire and feel like i got one shot at this ..my llnp is awesome but i do not know what to ask for
Any help advice experience is appriciated thanks

People usually tolerate rocephin. You need to take it with actigall to protect your gallbladder.
I tried IM (intramuscular) injections of rocephin. It or actigall made me very ill (constant stomach upset) so I couldn't continue.

Someone I know turned their Lyme infection around with 10 months of IV rocephin.

It works for some and not for others. Didn't work for me, but I would say its worth a try.
Remember to take a lot of milk thistle and actigall with this.

I would recommend it only if your insurance will cover you more than 30 days. Otherwise it not worth the cost of a PICC and the rest of the routine.
If you are paying for it on your own, look into Infuserve America in FL. They have the best prices around.

I did a total of 8 months of combination Antibiotics that culminated in 2 months of IV Rocephin. I felt GREAT on IV Rocephin, best i had felt in years (by far). Although i have had a return of some sytmptoms, it's nothing like the extent before Rocephin treatment. I'm currently doing LDI to try and clear what remains, which includes Autoimmune issues.
I did end up having to have my Gallbladder out despite using Actigall. But, all things considered, i would do it again for sure.
It was a big effort to get 2 months covered by insurance, and, the med is very expensive and Homecare to have the PICC line checked etc is critical. For me this was covered as part of the Rocephin treatment.
Good luck!

Blue - did you get a gallbladder scan? (or was it an ultrasound of GB?)
I think I had to do something like that before starting Rocephin.
Did you start Rocephin? IIRC there was a deal about getting bags of saline? (for the Rocephin I assume - ?)

When i had the Gallbladder issue it was fast and really acute (barely functional) with really extreme upward pressure, vomiting, intense pain etc. An Ultasound revealed stones. Although there is some opinion to the contrary, the opinion of LLMD, Internist and general surgeon was the only way to get rid of the stones is to have the Gallbladder out.
I've had no problems post removal although i do eat a really good diet (but i did that before as well).
Still, i think plenty of others have done IV R (with Actigal) and been fine, and as i said before, even though i had that complication it was totally worth it. I pretty much got launched into wellness on R.
Re LDN; yes taking LDN, have been since beginning of the Lyme treatment and have stayed on it (about 3 years now?). It's a wonder drug in my opinion. I was on 4.5mg as prescribed by LLMD (i went straight to that dose because it was what was prescribed and i didn't know any better, was in such a sea of symptoms i don't think i could have noticed if it had trouble with the dose) but have since realized my sweet spot is 3mg.
My all consuming Hay Fever is almost resolved, i very rarely get sick, and def get an overall wellbeing sense from it in general.
Honestly, i think everyone could benefit from being on LDN. The limit of course for many would be the alcohol liimitation although i drink minimally on it and i'm fine.
