Lori/Jo:

LORI, You are lucky or you had MSSA, not MRSA. MRSA is resistant to the
Methicillian family of drugs. Maybe the Dicloxacillan put your infection on the
run just enough for your own body to heal itself (this is how TRULY healthy
people with the right DNA react to MRSA). See Wikipedia info below.

JO, you should do some research and don't take my word for it as I'm not a
medical professional. However, I do know that you should be seeing an
Infectious Disease Doctor, not a family physican or a dermatologist, etc.

FROM WIKIPEDIA (re: Dicloxacillan):

Resistance:
Despite dicloxacillin being insensitive to beta-lactamses, some organisms have
developed resistance to it and other narrow-spectrum â-lactam antibiotics
including methicillin. Such organisms include methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

All the best,
Carrie

if your strain is sensitive to that drug. I'm not sure what Carrie is speaking
of.? My strain was very resistant, but was sensitive to Doxy.
