Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection
"I have osteomyelitis of temporal bone. In the hospital for 1 wk, sent home on IV Vancomycin &amp; Cephrine. After 4 wks back to Hospital for chills &amp; fever.  In for a wk, low blood &amp; increased iron...all due to IV.  Sent home on Zyvox &amp; Levaquin for 30 days, hoping infection has cleared (will find out after finish meds). Side effects: nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, cannot eat as nothing taste right, GERD, pressure in the sterum area, extremely tired, short of breath, yeast infection, insomnia, muscle &amp; joint aches, emotional and today red spots on skin.  Needless to say I feel horrible! Hopefully this will all be over soon but don&#039;t feel I will ever be the same. If this works then it&#039;s an amazing, wonderful drug.  However, it&#039;s very expensive. Thank goodness for patient assistance!"
