What are different sources for IV Rocephin since i do not have it covered under my insurance plan. My daughter suffering from Lyme and Bartonella for last 5 years is showing sypmtoms again since last 4 weeks - eye redness, joint pains, lack of concentration, brain fog, weakness, irregular sleep. Her Bart from Speciality Labs is IgG 1:256 which was 1: 64 for last one year. Rest of the results are fine with Lyme and Babesia + Immunoglobulins IgG.

online, Mexico, or Europe. Most of Mx and Europe don't require prescriptions. In Mexico now, they do but most pharmacies will take the sale without it.

Does ceftin cause gallbladder issues like rocephin does?

You can also check with www.hometech-rx.com

My daughter and I are both on IV rocephin. We each pay around $160 a week all supplies included.

My daughter is also on Mepron but my insurance is still covering it so I am not sure what price thay have on it.

This cost is without insurance. We were dropped by insurance company after 2 months of IV treatment. Our oral meds are still covered.

I started Dec. 22nd and my daughter started Jan 11th. We use IV push. Slowly over 10 minutes we push in the meds. at home. Weekly bandage changes and that is it.

momofthree - so you have just a saline lock/heparin lock?

You just mix the powder and sterile water and slowly inject it into the port?
