Congratulations!

I had MRSA 5 years ago, giant abscesses in several delicate spots,
armpits as well, head, etc. After being diagnosed, my physicians
prescribed what they called *a "antibiotic cocktail", for a week, and I
have not had any symptoms since. Only thing I have occasionally is a
pimple in my nostril and I take some ointment for those and they go away.

I am very fortunate and blessed.
