Re: [MRSA] please help me

Ohhh... this is awful but all too familiar.
I have MRSA and I am a nurse (though I do not work) . I would strongly suggest that you go through the Emergency Room where they will have to call an Infectious Disease Dr. Immediately to see you and then you will not have to wait till your appointment.
 
I would not tell them that you have an appt on April 6th, or anything.
 
 More than likely they would admit you again and do further tests and give you more antibiotics.
 
Please keep in touch if you can and let me know how you make out.
 
My thoughts and prayers are out to you.

Hi there - I would definitely raise cain until your doctor can get you in to someone much sooner than April 6th.  Like tomorrow.  Go to the ER if you need to, I think. 

Anyone else have an opinion on this?
