small one ( that doesn't hurt at all no puss), he also said that one drugs will
also not work those. He just told me to keep the one on my midsection covered.

getting a new painful med size one down there. It makes one feel hopeless but I
try to remain positive.

I feel for you, I know how you feel, most of the time I have sores on my
side, now I have a new one on my foot, feels like I dropped something heavy on
it, it hurts soooo deep, and leaks all the time. While Iwas on antibiotics for
more than 7 months, my boils were better but never gone. Hang in there, you are
not suffering alone. ID docs should start treating MRSA like a cronic disease,
with all different symptoms, but they don't.
