Hi @cared, I know you'd rather not have this diagnosis, but it is good that your infectious diseases doctor confirmed the diagnosis of Gordonia so that you can get effective treatment. I'm tagging other members like @jammer @extracare808 @sueinmn @tlynng79, who have experience with Gordonia bacteremia.

When do you start treatment with doxycycline and clarithromycin?

Thank you for your response. I began treatment with the two antibiotics a weeks ago. After a couple of bad starts, I have a new medication schedule along with the things that don’t work. So far the last three days have be free of nausea and it’s effects. Thanks for the links. I look forward to reading more about Gardonia.
