Grrr so I did my first injection of Rocephin last night and I was starting to get mild vertigo about 3 hours after.

Today I feel like I am floating and super dizzy. What to do? Do I do another one or just stop taking it?

I took ceftin for a month and it caused the same reaction. From my understanding it is in the same family as Rocephin "cephalosporins" so I am thinking it is because of that...?

The purpose of the IM is to see how I tolerate the drug then go on IV. What other drugs can I take using IV?

Thank you all,

Kuda

Could this be part of a herx?
Keep up the liver support.

You could skip a day, and see if you feel better.
That gives the liver time to catch up with detoxifying the neurotoxins left by the dead Lyme bacteria.

i know everybody does similar and differing regimens that work for them, and I think I have it covered, but would like to hear from other folks!

thanks

Hello Carol,

Hey Clueless,

Good luck seeking out detox methods. I am sorry I don't really have anything...

hi kuda pants ;-) hope you get undizzy soon! for liver detox try methyl b12 nasal spray and glutathione cream. However, I'm not sure that's your issue here.....best bet ask your LLMD :-)

hey lymekuda,

hope you are acclimating/adjusting to the IM shots

my husband has had almost 2 weeks IV, and he gets a little floaty, but just really tired- also hand/arm symptoms- rigidity, tingly seem to be exacerbated too! maybe a little herxing? dunno?

what is your Roc intake? don't think intamuscular can be given at more than 2 grams..... you wouldn't be able to sit for a LONG time... ouch!!

good luck!!
