PICC line, IV-antibiotics without insurance

[Christianmom]

We are temporarily without insurance for my son and his lyme doctor has suggested possibly trying IV rocephrin with a PICC line after the next visit in a month. We may have insurance again by then, but if not, is there anyone without insurance who could tell me the cheapest way to get a PICC line and IV-rocephrin? Thanks!

What area do you live in? Also, if you don't mind me asking, who is your LLMD?

[Christianmom]

I live in PA and my son's LLMD is Dr. H in New York.

Sorry to hear that. In cure unknown pamela weintraub discusses how she minimized costs for iv but I can't recall the particulars. Also you may want to try posting that question on lymenet as i know many people on that board have funded their own treatmebt. I had a very good result recently trying low dose arteminisin I compounded with EDTA from dr m (I know he has worked with dr h) even though my dd does not have babs we tried this for Lyme/Bart pain and her pain went away in a few days. Just throwing it out there in case you have not tried it, I know dr h is one of the best. Good luck

philamom -- Thank you! I'll look into those websites.

 

Hopeny -- Thank you! I have the book "Cure Unknown." I'll look it up. My son has already been on arteminisin for a year. I don't think that is an answer for him.
