I have been told there are some interesting treatments being used in Germany. I also know due to FDA regs we take much longer to have info on new antibiotics. IV X2 4 years still very unwell and have other members of my family sick so any info helps. Am from the UK living in the US so a trip to Europe is an option if there is any help that has proven successful.....thanks

Augsburg treats with IV rocephin and some more antibiotics, but they use ilads guidelines and I have not heard about them using any of the interesting new antibiotics.

But they can maybe prescribe them if want.

I forgot which new antibiotics are approved in europe vs the U.S.
