I found out over a week ago that I had a blood infection. I had a uti and they said that it caused the blood infection.. I am on vancocin 250mg 3x a day for 10 days.. I just went on the 9th of Sept. to get more blood work done.. But I am tired all the time.. Just want to sleep and I feel real sluggish all the time.. What do you think the problem is.. Thank you...

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Urinary tract infection (UTI) is accompanied by fever and other symptoms like lethargy, tiredness, weakness etc. I suggest you to complete the antibiotic regime as suggested by your doctor and take adequate rest. The constitutional symptoms will slowly clear away and thus recovery will occur. A repeat urine examination should be after completion of antibiotic regime. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
