Hello- Doc is considering started me on IV after 2 years on oral antibiotics. I hit a plateau quite

some time ago and so we are hoping IV can help out. Anyone have better results after doing IV?

I was on oral meds for 6 months and it never stopped my downhill slide. I started on IV Rocephen and in 4 months I could get up and walk. I am still on IV and I am still seeing improvement. I started treatment in July 2009.
