Just wondering if you do just Rocephin IV, or whether people are also adding Azithromycin/Doxycycline for the intracellular?

Good lyme doctors add at least a cyst buster to the IV rocephin. Those patients who don't do this end up being sorry. I know a few. They find that they didn't make much progress on the IV. They find this out when they stop the IV and go back to the same level of sickness they had prior to IV.
So, we are talking about flagyl (metronidazole) or tindamax (tinidazole).
It doesn't have to be added right away, but it has to be added eventually. Otherwise, the lyme just goes into the cyst form and waits for you to stop the rocephin (ceftriaxone, in Burrascano Guidelines) as I understand it.
See page 12 of Burrascano.

Thanks everyone.... that is what I thought... that you have to address all 3 forms, even with IV. A friend of mine is being told by a very well respected LLMD that IV alone is OK, at least to start with.
