Dealing with being a "Cootie Monster"   Message List

Re: Dealing with being a "Cootie Monster"

HI,

I understand what you are going through. I have a close family member who has
distanced herself from me. I have a website: www.MRSAsupportgroup.com. Please
read my WHAT IS MRSA page and my HELP AND SUPPORT page. MRSA "infection" and
"colonization" are two different things and you may have been colonized many
years prior to your knee sugery.

You have NO duty to warn/tell anyone about your MRSA struggle. The only
exception may be if you have an open wound/boil/etc. Depending on where you are
standing, anywhere from 10% up to 75% of the people around you may be
"colonized". Especially in schools!

Me and my 4month old baby fought MRSA successfully without antibiotics. It
wasn't easy or cheap but it was worth not having to go through what you went
through. I read so many failure stories when I first found out I had MRSA
(infection) and thought there had to be a better way. Well, there is. Not sure
if I can mention here because I sell it now. However, I do not sell it on my
site (although it is mentioned). My site is comprehensive and helpful, not for
sales. There is a better way and I hope you will research it like we did.

Your doctor does not have any research because there is not any large study research out there. The best IDD docs know that re-colonization is likely....
