SOS -info on IV tygacyl/tigacycline please

[Guest guest]

I have been absent of late due to a small stroke and still too frequent

vertigo---and taking care of Evan.

Evan?started IV and after 8 weeks of Rocephin + Zithro he started to imporve

then crashed--and badly needs IVIG but as usual the insurance company is

balking--appeals are pending.

Meanwhile the Dr d/c the other meds for a week and is now starting IV

tigacycline--we know about the PDR's risks and all BUT anything you guys can

tell me ASAP re pros and cons as far as YOUR experoiences with it and Lyme and

coinfections would be very helpful to us!!!-- also what if anything are you also

taking with it--Im thinking its very like doxy and really needs another drug

with it??

Evan was/is Bart, Lyme, Myco all pos at various times by blood and clinical

symptoms; and a suspected Babs by clinical? sx only. His other conditions are

dysautonomia and chiari both suspected secondary to the tick stuff . NO

allergies known thank G-d so far.

PLEASE cc back to me email at finrussak@... and Evan's dad 1031@...

in case I cant get to my pc. This makes it far more likely for me to get the

info in good time.

and for those emailing me for info, support etc please forgive me but my own dip

in health has unfortunately backlogged all requests and I promise to get to them

as soon as I am able and the good Lord allows.

May all of you/us have a HEALTHIER New year and Happy Holidays!!!!

Finette
