Elnut is your allergy to vancomycin a true allergy or did they try to infuse it too fast the first time you got it? That ***** to be allergic to vancomycin and prone to MRSA infections. They ever try Zyvox (linezolid) on you for MRSA? Very pricey but an option nonetheless.
I am truly allergic to Vanco. I broke out in hives, blood pressure went thru the roof and oxygen levels would not get above 90. That's why they went to Clendo until it would not kill any of the Staph Infections I would get after surgery. Which is why its Tigercycline or death. Not sure about Zyvox
