I have been diagnosed with mrsa for about
the third or fourth time in the past 8
months. I've taken antibiotics for 10
days and 14 days and most recently for 28
days. The infection seemed to go away
for about a month or two but it is back
and my Dr. Just presecribed another 10
days or bactroban (or bactrim). I am
concerned about the recurrences. I am an
individual that seems prone to infections.
I often get sinus infections several
times a year and about two years ago I had
chronic tonsilitus. That went away and
my sinus infections have subsided but now
it is mrsa that is getting the best of my
immune system.
I had blood test done to check for various
things including immune difficiencies,
etc. And everything seemed normal. Is
there any steps I should take to further
investigate this or should I just keep
taking antibiotics as presecribed by my
Dr.
I fee like I should be taking more drastic
actions after having mrsa off and on for
this long. I have two young children,
the youngest (20 months) was diagnosed
with mrsa recently and now appears to have
kicked it. Is it possible I got it back
from her?
What steps should I take, if any to step
up the investigation of this problem? I
don't feel like my Dr.'s ask enough
questions and they don't seemed concerned
about this condition...Should they be?
Thanks,
jlgate

my son is 2 yrs old and has already had 3
bouts of this. 2 times was hospitalized.
they think it may have come from either my
husband or myself. We have both been
treated with Bactriban( i think that is
the name) twice. it goes in your nose.
they say that is where staph can live.
neither one of us has had mrsa since our
son was born, but who knows. they can not
tell us why he keeps getting it thoug. it
has been difficult watching him be cut
open 4 times now to let the infection
drain. i know this was probably no help,
but your not alone.

My daughter has MRSA and had to be treated
with Vancomiacin or Xyvox. With my
limited knowledge, they are the
antibiotics that you need to treat MRSA
with. It is a 6 week treatment. She just
had another knee surgery and I am hoping
and praying the MRSA does not reappear.

Has anyone seen this? I thought I read
about a study where they found that
marijuana effectively treated MRSA. Now I
can't find it.

Hey, i have mrsa as well. I was in the
hospital in may with a sore on my side. I
have been taking probiotics, that you get
behind the counter at the drug store,
needless to say i have not had any more
problems since then. And that was not my
first sore but about the 5th one in a
year. So try some probiotics.

Try a Sinus Irrigator And Check Your Body Temp Posted: 11-06-07 23:07pm
Keeping the sinus membranes clean is very
important in keeping out germs. A sinus
irrigator is the answer. I've used one
for years. Google it or Amazon sells
them. Use Kosher salt and tap water. The
"special" salt they sell is nothing more
than Kosher salt. $3 for a box at the
grocery store that will last six months
versus their "special" salt that is 100
times the price.
Also, check your body temp. If below 98.2
then your metabolism is low and you're not
detoxing fast enough. Google Wilson's
syndrome. Buy the T3 compound if you
wish but prescription armour thyroid (very
cheap) works just as well for 90% of
people with T3 deficiency. I was at 93
degrees and now back to 98.6 and my
metabolism is working again and my body is
detoxing. That plus the sinus irrigator
is worth the money 100 times over. I have
other serious health problems these two
things can't help but at least I no longer
pick up new germs and my body again
detoxes as it should.
Hope this helps!

Hello all,
I am a homeless man with extremely low
resources and I was wondering if there was
some suggested medicines like aspirin,
tylenol that would help me combat mrsa?
