See below: Without knowing the source of your staph infection it is difficult to say. This could a side effect of the medication that you are on or could be gastritis or an ulcer. You have listed that you have been vomiting as well. It would be wise to seek medical attention to evaluate this further.

Staph infection: Staphylococcus is a common bacteria in our environment, but if you have it in your blood that is significant. There is an increasing incidence of resistant staph bacteria, so hopefully you are on the correct antibiotics for this infection. Weakness can certainly be related to the infection, and abdominal pain is potentially a concern as well. You should see your doctor for an exam and discuss meds.
