Hi Jimmy G, I will try to help you. I am not a specialist but I had it myself
for a year including in my blood. I have been well now for 2+ years and have
done a lot of reading. Sounds to me like another case where the docs took you
off the meds too soon. Is it just on your skin? How big are the spots? Can
you go to an emergency room if nessasary? Easy for me to say but don't worry
about the bill. If you have read a few posts you will read over and over how
this minor skin infection can evolve into a horrible life threatening infection.
Don't let it get out of control. -Melissa

I have had mrsa for 2 years straight. I have been treated in the past when I
first found out I had it, was given vancomycin in the hospital for a week and
then later prescribed ointment pills and bath soap. I can provide more details.
While the hospital iv medicine did clear up a the original occurrence , when I
was discharged I was not originally prescribed any medication after and took
about 2 months to get to see a specialist in Greenvile NC to be prescribed
anything after the infection returned.The medicine prescribed did not realy seem
to help even after doing all of what the doctor prescribed. The problem is it
continues to cause welts that need draining continual itching and other symptoms
with no apparent end or relief. To make matters worse I am now unemployed no
money or health insurance and no free services in my community to treat this
disease. I would appreciate any information or assistance you can provide. Jimmy
