We were at our local Childrens hospital last night to have a very large one drained. She was on Zyvox during Thanksgiving and we were free of abscesses for 3 weeks. That is the longest she has gone without having one. We have seen an Infectious Disease doctor that doesn't offer us much hope in getting these to go away.
So many sales at target and Walmart ...fyi lol I've been buying clothes and small necessities like socks wash clothes sleepers shoes blankets etc. for under $5-$9 and I bought a GREAT stroller and car seat combo for $100 (Graco Spree Classic Connect) and a $59 pack and play with bassinet, napper, and changer...if you have any money to burn shop til you drop ladies ..
his symptoms returned immediately when the antibiotics were finished. This resulted in 2 debridement surgeries where all the hardware was removed. He was on 6 weeks of IV Vanco and Rifampin which seem to end the infection. 6 weeks ago the went back in to redo the spinal fusion as his scoliosis was still severe and he had become very kyphotic well into his lumbar spine.
s and one surgery for a port ( my veins were shot) as well as a round of Zyvox pills ($82.00 a pill or $1600.00), I still tested positive. As luck and God would have it, I had been taking amoxicillian before all this happened so I thought "why not finish it, nothing else has worked". I knew when I took the amox, I had started to feel better. I talked my local PA into putting me on 8 weeks of it and low and behold, I have tested negative 2x.
I picked up VRE while in the hospital which was treated with 14 days of IV Zyvox. The VRE came back, in my urine, and I was hospitalized again last week and put back on Zyvox (oral this time). I am also on IV clindamycin and azithromycin, and a long list of other medications. While in the hospital they did daily blood work, of course, and my results have gotten progressively worse. They told me to follow up with my pcp, but my pcp is pretty much useless.
the cultures and urine showed Staphylococcus epidermidis which was treated with success with vanc and zyvox. i know S. epi. is a common skin flora but i am confused as to how i was infected. Any insight?
The swellings continued and my eyes were also swollen. He told me that i was allergic to the Bactrim and prescibed some Zyvox. Im currently taking it and maintaining a tyramine free diet and see the results.
While I know the FDA is cracking down on Internet sales of narcotics, I was just curious if many of you have purchased your drugs that route. It has been over a year since I bought meds online....tried to hide this from my hubby but he found out early on (How can you hide $600/month?) I can't believe how much money I have saved our family....wow...how selfish was I! This "drug money" could have covered the kids school tuition, car insurance and mortgage.....
t any infection going. Matter of fact, they were getting a pre-authorization ready to go for Zyvox.... Amazing, no infection, but I was going to get a antibotic? Just don't understand.
Anyways, long story short, the second ortho suggested that I did not pick the Zyvox up - didn't need it.
I go back to see the second ortho surgeon on Tuesday and will request a nasal mucous culture just for gp's. So, I guess the nasal swab is the tell tell if you are a MRSA carrier correct?
My husband and son have not exhibited any skin conditions-just me. I have taken your advice and went to an infectious disease specialist. He has taken some cultures and has already put me on a new antibiotic called Zyvox. If the antibiotics doesn't clear the condition-I have considered looking for a new home for the dog. Thanks for your advice. I will see what the cultures suggest. Thanks!
Good afternoon and thank you to anyone/everyone whoever takes the time to read and respond to posts like this. It's so appreciated and provides much comfort to those of us who are really struggling without a place to turn.
Sadly, I've been suffering for 7, coming up to 8 months. Back in December of last year, I ended up holding my bladder far, far longer than I should've.
•In the race to become the top pharmaceutical company, in terms of total prescription drug sales, Novartis will emerge as a clear leader in 2018, with sales forecast to reach $51.3 billion by that year. That's $3 billion ahead of its closest competitors, Pfizer and Sanofi.
