i've been on iv antiobotics for 6 weeks after my sore debreedment. my bone culture came back positive. i'm in a nursing home so the nurses hook up my iv 3x a day. i'm having trouble with yeast. when i lived at home the visiting nurse assn. had their own iv team. they had no problem coming out to my house. also you might ask for a pump that only needs to be changed 1x a day. mabe you can do that outpatient? don't let any doctor start iv antibiotics untill lab cultures come back with the proper drug resistance profile.

I had osteomylitis (bone infection) and had vancomycin twice a day...they did it outpatient.

Hi all, i just have a question, I have an infection in my elbow and my whole arm has swelled up. I am on 2 antibiotics and the doc has drained it once with a needle, which has helped a little. Tomorrow I have an Dr's apt and he may have to put me on an IV which means being hospitalized for 3 to 4 days. I don't do the hospital well at all, in fact it feels like a jail sentence. Has anyone else here ever had any strange infections? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
Meredith
