I am back to work after 8 months...(nothing has changed; lol)

I am doing so well. I hurt some and am tired some but nothing like I have been. As a matter of fact I cant remember last time I felt this good. My weight is way up and that needs to go.

When do you consider yourself well. I had 3 months of orals and 3 months of rocephin. I still have the Groshong port. I want it out.

Is it only 2-3 months?

You guys mean, 2-3 months without any abx and still symptom free?

I thought it would take much longer (about 6 months) to be considered in remission [loco]

2-3 months of symptom free on abx before going off abx
