What is your experience with oral antibiotics? How long did you try them before going the IV route? How hard was it to have the pic-line inserted?

I think this wpuld get more answers if posted on Medical page.

I did 6 yrs oral (with 5 weeks of Rocephen early in treatment.

Had ups & downs but overall slow spiraling ownhill.

My LLMD had me do IV Tigecyl when it first came out in 2008. Did 4 months and had to stop due to blood clot.

I did well on it & have been off Lyme & cos treatment since. Working on rehab/rebuilding.

I was DXd MS for 17yrs before finding out lyme.
