Personally, IV therapy did so much more for me than the oral meds ever did. I don't think I'd have gotten better without it.

I was off of all my meds for a year, and unfortunately got sick again. I got right back on IV for it.

I have a PICC line in. It's annoying, but you'd be surprised what you can get used to.

If you have any questions, PM me [Big Grin]
