Oral antibiotics starting tomorrow. I have uti with 2 different concurrent infections that won’t go away. They’re finding out from my insurance if I can get the IV in the office or if I need them done at home. I’m hoping there because I’d be nervous doing it myself

I might have to do the IV at home. I hope I can just get it done at the office. Plus, the oral medication I have to take has all kinds of interactions with different foods and medications. I can’t take my Celexa for the next 10 days. When I stop SSRIs cold turkey I get brain zaps and irritability. I’m not looking forward to the next 10 days

I hope a nurse is going to do it for you at home. If , for instance an air bubble gets into your bloodstream you’re dead.

I have never heard of an IV being done at home before

I think they just put the IV in and then at home you change the bags yourself. I’m pretty nervous about it.

Well I have Medicare. The nurse told me some Medicare plans want it done at home. We’ll see what they say
