A couple of people here have had success with it, though it is a grueling treatment - Tracy9 is one.

Is IG intravenous penicillin (sp)? If so I have a Lyme friend who does well on it (at four times a day it can be burdensome, but my friend benefits from it).

Hope it benefits you.

I have a friend who is a home health nurse. She was telling me about someone she knows who has chronic lyme that has been doing this treatment.

She said that it is really having a positive effect on the patient.

I am doing it and it is helping me. We have a group on www.lymefriends.org called IVIG you might want to check out for more information and experiences.

Also if you search here on IVIG you will get a lot of informative threads.
