Having problems with message search?
Hi Judy,
I am so sorry you are going through this. Is there anyway you could speak to someone else about your condition? When I was diagnosed with MRSA I kept getting different answers from different medical people as there seems to be quite a difference in knowledge about MRSA. I am in no way saying that your current drs. don't know what they are doing but it might help if you could find an infectious disease specialist or someone in infectious disease who is familiar with MRSA. Perhaps that could help with your treatment. I don't know where you live but closest to me would me Madison WI. I began looking on the internet and searching for MRSA or infectious disease specialists so I could find some sort of information. I did find out that there are actually people (doctors) who specialize in MRSA and some testify in court about it. I ended up going to one in WI just so I could ease my mind a little as I was going crazy over this worrying nonstop and
stressing myself out. It did help to know a little more about it and at least be able to speak to someone with more knowledge. Good luck to you. Sorry I don't know too much but I wish you the best for your healing and peace of mind. Lori

Hi, I was diagnosed with MRSA in a wound in my leg in April of this
year, the doctors are having a very hard time getting the wound to
close. 6 weeks ago my id doctor took me off of all meds because of
continuous infections in my picc lines. I told him I was still
experiencing a lot of pain in the leg and that it was getting worse,
he told me that the pain was from walking and to stay off of it for
a month to give it time to heal. I wasnt comfortable with that. 2
weeks ago I had to be taken back into surgery to have the wound
debrieved again for the 7th time, he had to scrape out 70% of my
tibia to het the infection out, we hope, and my bone doctor informed
me today that the culture came back MRSA. I have to see my ID doc on
tuesday to discuss. I am at my wits end with this, I am in constant
pain and am on percocet which at this time is just barely taking the
pain and burn away. My leg has been infected with bacteria since
8/1/03. How long am I going to have to go through this?? I need some
guidance on this, I am just about ready to let them take off my leg,
I cant handle this anymore.
