I haven’t read many success stories, that is not to say there haven’t been. It seems that a lot of people trudge through very difficult side effects, clear, then it comes back. I’m sure there are many different scenarios to this topic.
I think it comes down to an individual decision, how disruptive the side effects are, the age and physical condition of the individual, and where they are at in their diagnosis etc.
If a person is riddled with untenable side effects on a daily basis that exclude them from quality of life and enjoying their day, then there is something to think about..for me that is. Another factor is other or existing conditions too that play in the ability to tolerate the side effects. I wake up in excruciating body pain every single day from fibromyalgia….that alone is hard to handle….throw meds into the mix and it’s like torture to me. God bless those who can handle the antibiotics…….
