In response to HELP! i have staph but im allergic to keflex posted by ana36:

Ana,
I too had a non multi-drug resistant infection with Staph in my blood (no skin outbreaks). At the time I had also been having some odd heart pains (once going to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack.) My Internest found that I had bacteremia (which is staph in the blood). They put me in the hospital for 7 days and I had round the clock treatment with Vancomicyn and Azithromicine IV. Terribe experience. But after release from the hospital within 3 days all my heart pain had completly gone away. This was pain that I had put up with for 5 years or more. That wasn't by Dr.s goal but it did happen. Thought you might like to know.
