Here I go again. Saw my LLMD today and bottom line is that he thinks he's taken me as far as he can on orals after 19 months and suggesting a referral for possible IV.

The two doctors that were talked about most extensively today were Dr. R in NY and Dr. J in S.C.

Are there any patients out there with first hand experience with either of these two doctors on IV? Thanks for any help.

I went to Dr J in SC a couple times but did not do IV therapy with him. He is VERY expensive. Call his office and ask what he charges for IV therapy before deciding.

Be sure to ask if there are additional monthly or contractual charges beyond the price of the supplies and drugs.

good luck!

That's what I've heard about Dr J. He adds on extra charges, so be sure to contact someone who sees him... and call his office to ask.
