I'll just add that my 7 year old became violently ill after a flu shot and a sprained ankle late last year, which we discovered quickly after was the 3 B's passed from mom to son.
The symptoms of these all came on so fast - so much so that within weeks he was loosing the ability to walk.
He was also having severe stomach issues when he finally did get on antibiotics. We quickly made the decision to do a PICC line and Ceftriaxone (for 4 months) - within days of starting the IV he was walking and basically became a "normal" kid again, it was amazing.
In our case mom has severe neuro-lyme, with my son having severe brain lesions that show in an MRI - and I have read IVs can help with these sorts cases better than orals. Not saying this will help but just wanted to pass our experience on.
Of course having a Lyme Md who knows all the proper supplements and other things you have to do helped us tremendously, as well, but the IV I am convinced was one of the key pieces.
