I received vancomycin IVs every morning for two and one-half months. Before leaving I had numerous blood tests, CT and bone scans and MRIs, and my doctor, a specialist in infectious diseases, assured me there was no sign of infection. Recently, however, I have been having headaches, running a low fever, losing sleep and weight. Fluid is draining from the site of my previous infection, and this drainage has increased lately.
