Hello, My name is Michael Burton I landed in the Hospital with an infection in my face started in the ear and moved to a bone in my face... I have been on Pip Tazo IV 4.5 g for 2 hours every 8 hours at first the infection went down and my WBC has dropped from 26000 to 14 700 my CRP was 33 about a month ago but I have been on the Pip Tazo for almost 4 months now and my Docs office called and has again extended the treatment for another month... all together it will be 5 months... I still have pain in my face from time too time but things seem too be taking a bad road... I have a lump and pain in my leg it is not a DVT had that checked out just yesterday. but the doc there said it could be a 2nd infection and if it is it could be a bad thing or it could be a fat build up but since it was the er that is as far as they will take it... No DVT and they are done... it will be 4 months of Pip Tazo on a high dose IV and still my WBC is 14 700 er doc said if I get a fever or anything go to the hospital for the lump on my leg... I don;t know what my next move should be... I am 35 been sick for the last 10 years it seems my body is ready to move on...
