How long were you on IV Rocephin before you felt different from it?

Did you herx first or did you just continually start feeling better?

How long have you been on it?

Oh wow, so you were continuously on IV antibiotics for that half year? Did you do IV again once you relapsed?

I am on month 5 and am only noticing the difference now although my herx's were all Neuro. I will remain on it as my baseline drug until I am well.

I use oral AB's with it cycling between babesia and bart meds

No, only 4 weeks the first time. Switched to orals at that point.

After relapse, restarted IV. I was on it for 1 year the second time around, Much slower recovery after relapse.

Stopped IV rocephine after 1 year, relapsed again in 3 months, had doxy IV next. On that one for 6 months. Some things go better some much worse.

Switched to carbapenem IV, improved rapidly, on it for 6 months then declined again. Switched back to rocephine for 6 months then to bicillan.

In all 5 year on and off IV. 8 PIC lines (and scars on arms to prove it.

Off drugs now since april.

Don't let this scare you. I know a lot of people that got better after only 4 weeks of IV.
