Hi there JVS,
I have Chronic Neuro Lymes. I Have a PICC line which was inserted last Fridau the 7th. The Doc tried to insert a Mid-line but could not locate my veins even with a ultrasound machine. For some reason my veins seem to be shrinking. Possibly because of the lYmes in my opinion. I am on Claforan 2 grams every 8 Hrs.
Last year i was put on a Natural thing called "Glutathione" IV, this was before I had a diagnosis of LYmes. I had a Mid-line inserted and it only lasted for 2 wks. My nurse said it was not because we did not take care of the site or being unclean. My nurse then inserted another Mid-line in the other arm and it only lasted 2 wks and developed into a severe Staph infection. The other was also badly infected. At the time that the second one got infected my doctor suggested I go with a PORT and we did. It lasted about 4 months and then got so infected I landed in the hospital for a while. We do feel that with the antibiotic it wont get as easily infected.
Hope it helps
