Yeah, I wish that was true, and it might be for her, I certainly hope so, but in my case, I had a PICC line for several weeks before switching to oral Linezolid and it didn't touch my infection. All the Linezolid is doing now is keeping it at bay because the bacteria have formed a Biofilm on the metal implant in my knee and they are resistant strains. It is predicted that maybe as soon as within the next 20 years, antibiotics will be virtually useless from overuse. That's why I am an adamant proponent of Phage therapy, even though I myself have not been lucky enough as of yet to receive it, I have seen what it can do and I know it works. Continued prayers for her and God bless.

I believe we’ve talked before. If you didn’t have IV antibiotics for minimum 6 weeks I can imagine the initial infection was never completely gone. Why did they switch you to oral? I’ve not heard good things about Linezolid and if I’m recalling it right, the older antibiotic used. Have you ever been on Vancomycin? That was the second antibiotic they had me on but the trough got so high it caused an acute kidney injury But that was the antibiotic I was on the longest. I know you’re very keen on the Phage therapy but my concern for you is this delay in getting it while your leg infection is ongoing. Please be careful and do you have a back up plan? I worry about you
