Experiences with

Vancomycin

I spent four days there with "tank car" loads of vancomycin. Fortunately I recovered. But in late March of this year, I had a procedure at the hospital to help a swallowing disorder called achalasia, that is really a bad deal, no food can go down.

The patient had previously failed several courses of antibiotics for CDI, including vancomycin, vancomycin with metronidazole, fidaxomicin, and bezlotoxumab, with relapse confirmed via symptom recurrence and positive stool test.

In a couple of weeks' time i'm going to be taking a course of oral vancomycin, a potent antibiotic. I have had considerably worsened RLS/PLMD symptoms on certain antibiotics before. On this occasion I can't elect a different antibiotic. Nor can i take probiotics.

The ER doctor thought she had cirrhosis, so they started her on Ceftriaxone and Vancomycin. Within hours, she crashed. And they scrambled, trying to figure out what was going on.

I am still also taking the Vancomycin (antibiotic for cdiff), and taking the Balalaside for the UC. On day 5 no weight gain,less than 1900 sodium, vitamins and exercise daily while watching calories, BUT very anxious/hyper during day and not sleeping well at night.

When I was discharged I went home with pic line of vancomycin. And weekly nurse visits for 2+months. Just be very careful. I’ve even been told I’m at hire risk of getting it again now. I also had to hold taking my ibrance so I could fight the bacteria.

The night before she passed, a student nurse set the speed on the IV for vancomycin incorrectly. And she will die in her sleep from Renal Failure. And I cursed myself over and over and over why I had heard rumors about this hospital.

CRN System): Stage 1 (minimal) - Bridging Fibrosis: none Other Disease Activity - Mallory Bodies: none As those who have followed my wife passed in January of 2023, 3 of the four doctors said she had no cirrhosis and was dealing with a drug-induced hemolytic reaction, coupled with an AKI from Vancomycin

We now know this is red man syndrome caused by the misuse of Vancomycin. As the student nurse and resident struggled, she started to third space again, BP was dropping they pushed bolo's she third spaced more. Not realizing the Vancomycin had put her in renal failure.

The combination of levodopa and antibiotics, such as tetracycline and vancomycin, in the treatment of PD may decrease the amount of corresponding antibiotic resistance genes in gut bacteria, which would give a theoretical basis for treating PD with levodopa combined with tetracycline and vancomycin in

My niece is now on the strongest antibiotics vancomycin and days 3 they say they havent started working

The oral antibiotic Vancomycin also seems to preferentially favor A.mun whereas doxycycline is detrimental and degradess the microbiome even in low doses. We certainly don't want to take Vancomycin for this purpose due to emerging resistance of C. dificil and also renal toxicity.

In the hospital, I was being treated with vancomycin intravenously, and I believe it may have killed the strenotrophomonas, because I haven't breathed this well for over a year.

He could not get rid of it with vancomycin. He would test neg after 4 weeks. The following week he was positive again. Finally the cancer took over with a 900 psa. We were going to go to Germany for the treatment of lu 117? We never made it.

Was on IV vancomycin for 2 weeks which was horrible and oxycodone slow release along with as required for breakthrough pain. I've been home for 2 weeks now and was able to stop the oxycodone yesterday although still experiencing pain.

I received Vancomycin, which saved my life but took out my kidneys. So one day no kidney issues, the next day dialysis. That actually has nothing to do with my question, just a little background on me -- maybe I'll start checking in every now and then.

I have tried Rifaximin, ciprofloxacin ,vancomycin and Doxycycline and have not been able to take any them for any more than 2 days. Is anyone aware of any alternative ways to have antibiotics which would help me like intravenously or by injection to avoid my stomach.

so amazing.......I even had a reaction to Vancomycin and got the Redman syndrome, which my wife caught happening!! I just minded my mind and did my best to be resting and think good thoughts. I muddle through, with just a delay in my taper.

Has anyone else had this type of reaction to Vancomycin? I would love to hear from you. Jerold Crawford Tampa,FL USA

Today (Monday), they took him off the tube and put him on another type of antibiotics (vancomycin) in addition for his scar infection, which they haven’t told me is worse but I guess they are just trying something new?
