"I was diagnosed with MRSA pneumonia, and the hospital tried five different types of IV antibiotics on me before they tried the vancomycin. After two weeks in the hospital, I was sent home with IVs administered twice a day for 14 days. It's been three weeks since I stopped the IVs, and I'm still experiencing dizziness and nausea, but my lungs are clear of the pneumonia. I also have pain in my legs at times. I am experiencing stage 4 kidney failure, but the creatinine levels are decreasing. Nonetheless, I am glad the vancomycin worked."

"I was in the hospital for 10 days with severe pneumonia and several other infections in my head, and the combination of vancomycin, Zosyn, Flagyl, and Zithromax cleared the majority of the symptoms in a few days. Vancomycin was the primary antibiotic."
