I am looking for relief for my friend.  He has had MRSA since before

Christmas and now he has sores all over and the meds the doctor is

putting him on are not helping. Is there any natural remedies that seem

to benefit?



Please email me as I am not a member yet.  Indigoeyes1219@...

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

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

  Hi Jimmy,? I too have experienced not being treated seriously enough at the

onset of infection, and am still suffering the consequences after 4 years.? If

you do not have insurance,? as frustrating as it is, you must seek medical

care.? At the very least, you need your sore (s) cultured so that you know

exactly what bacteria needs to be killed.? There may be a walk-in clinic near

you where you can get your sores cultured. (or your regular doctor).? You may

need to apply for Medicaid so that you do have medical care while you are out of

work. ? Some of the other things you can do involve changing how you clean/

etc..at home to prevent sharing the bug with others. (don't re-use towels or

washclothes;? wash your bedding everyday if you are draining;? wash

towels/sheets/etc..in hot water and color-safe bleach, and dry in hot dryer.?

Clean knobs/faucets/light switches, etc...with bleach water or lysol. ? You can

also make sure you take good care of yourself so that your body can also do it's

work to heal:? eat nutritional foods as you are able;? get sleep, reduce stress.

Eat yogurt or take probiotics to re-populate your intestinal tract with the good

bacteria it needs to help your body fight infection. ? For people with boils, my

understanding is that the quicker you take care of it, the better.?



Once you know what you are dealing with, check with your doctor about other

alternative or complementary measures they might recommend for you to try.??

Some people have success with using a silver ointment on the sores the minute

they appear, or antibiotic ointment,? or honey.? Always research what you are

doing.?



I have been doing some new research on the cell wall of the MRSA bacteria, and

what other methods they are finding to break down the wall so that the whole

cell can be killed off.? I just read some articles on how the bacteria creates a

film that protects itself from the body's innate infection-fighting cells.? It

is thought that it can create a "network" of protected cells that will actually

grow.? I'm hoping that a researcher I wrote to will get back to me about this.?



As frightened as we are about MRSA, we have to realize that our hospitals and

health care facilities are not taking seriously these infections.? We are only a

number, not a patient.? If our positive culture puts us over a certain

percentage, we might be considered part of an "outbreak".? However, patients are

not notified nor followed up on after this kind of experience.? There are

several other very serious infections that are spreading that are very hard

and/or impossible to treat.? The bacteria will continue to find ways to avoid

being killed..that's the "job" of bacteria:? to grow and replicate, and find

ways to be resistant to drugs.



Keep us posted.? Even when we disagree, we are all struggling in the same way.

Thank you for responding. A lot of what you mention is stuff i have already read

online or got other info about. Thank you for it though. And I agree with you

that the disease is not being taken seriously enough by the medical community.

In North Carolina the disease is not being tracked like HIV or cancer or other

diseases. I am thinking that if it were, then instead of medical research going

to developing viagra or some of the other things that really are not potentially

life threatening that maybe that research might go to finding a vaccine or cure

for MRSA. I dont want to get political with anyone but I just got a email asking

on my input to reform health care by one of the political parties. If you or

anyone else would be interested maybe we should provide input on this, or to our

state health departments to start keep track of the disease better. I want a

cure for this. It has been hard trying to get definite info on MRSA and one of

the things

  I keep seeing on the different websites is part of the problem is that there is

not enough tracking to provide definite answers on this disease.

Thank you for responding. The infection as it stands right now is just the spots

on the skin and vary in size from small pimples that otherwise look like any

ordinary pimple but some

get to be about a half inch as far as the actual sore but the surrounding area

can be an inch or more of redness.. It seems that as soon as one drains and

starts to heal another appears in a different spot. Since leaving the hospital,

the illness has been seems to be just causing skin problems. I can go to the

emergency room if necessary, but I am also concerned that if I was treated for

the illness as it stands right now and the disease mutates, if it were to

reoccur later then there might not be anything to treat it, based on what I have

read and talked to health educators. It would seem to me that unless I can get

rid of the disease outright that I may be better off to wait until I really need

to be given antibiotics. I may be wrong on that, but so far I haven't found out

for sure one way or the other. The thing that gets to me more than anything else

seems to be the constant itching I have all over with this as well particularly

at night. Is there

  anything you can tell me about that?

Jimmy--



I had a lot of itching after my outbreaks of MRSA, too.  Some of it I thought

was just psychological and from the stress of the MRSA.  I don't really know but

it seems to be better.  I haven't had an outbreak since August, 2008.  I believe

there is so much more to MRSA than any of us know. We may never know how much of

our other symptoms are due to MRSA. 



Do you use any moisturizer on your skin.  It does seem to help but you need to

be careful with any products that you use that you don't contaminate the product

with your hands especially since you do have itchy skin that might be hiding

bacteria.

Hi thanks for writing. I dont use any lotions on my skin because my skin can

somtimes be oily , then again some areas are dry. I have always had a lot of

body hair but since I got mrsa what happens is that I will itch and the area

that itches will continue to itch until I pluck out the body hair on the itching

area. The hair comes out easily compared to an area that does not itch. The itch

will then usually go away after a couple of moments. My legs arms, back, and at

the risk of probably offending someone, my scrotum are the areas that itch the

most. I am male, by the way. Unfortunately the hair grows back later on and the

process repeats itself. I have thought about trying one of the hair removal

lotion products but since it is hard to pluck very short hairs from the itching

areas as it is, I have not tried it yet. I have recently discovered that rubbing

alcohol seems to help but I still have to pluck the hair before.

I wrote the below then read some of the popsts that came after the original

response by Caryl. and some of the descriptions by the people responding to the

Living with colonization post seem very similar to some of what I also

experience. I would like to make a suggestion to all of the members.Perhaps we

can all describe in as much detail as we can all the symptoms we have and look

for all the similarities. I am new to the group and have only read a few of the

posts so far. But maybe by donng this we can set up a file or something that

contains as much info about symptoms in one place. does tis sound like anything

that might help? Jimmy

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

Hi Jimmy, it's Melissa again.  To answer question, I have never had itching with

mine only pain.  I don't really know much about how to stop the itch.  Do you

know for sure it is mrsa at this point?  I know what you mean about wanting to

wait.  Before I found my infectious disease doc, I could only find one other

doctor that would treat my mrsa aggressivly.  He was a doctor in a 24 hour walk

in clinic and I could only get to see him by chanse.  I did luckily get to see

him when i really needed him thank god.  The dumb VA doctors kept telling me i

had cellulitis.  (excuse my french)  After my first bout with mrsa the 2,3,4

times it came back it did look like cellulitis at first and then the abscess or

boil would come days later.  I knew my pattern and i knew how my mrsa presented.

I asked the 24 hour clinic doctor if I should wait before my flair ups got bad

before I went to the VA doctors so they could see the boil and treat me

appropriatly.  He told me

  not to wait because my mrsa at the time was presenting more like necrotizing

faciitis.  I am so thankfull I don't have to deal with thoes outbreaks anymore. 

It did change me mentally however.  I am somewhat germaphobic.  I am getting out

of the health field and working on my computer certifications because of what I

went through.   Who knows, maybe it's a blessing in disguise for me.

Hi thanks for writing. I dont use any lotions on my skin because my skin can

somtimes be oily , then again some areas are dry. I have always had a lot of

body hair but since I got mrsa what happens is that I will itch and the area

that itches will continue to itch until I pluck out the body hair on the itching

area. The hair comes out easily compared to an area that does not itch. The itch

will then usually go away after a couple of moments. My legs arms, back, and at

the risk of probably offending someone, my scrotum are the areas that itch the

most. I am male, by the way. Unfortunately the hair grows back later on and the

process repeats itself. I have thought about trying one of the hair removal

lotion products but since it is hard to pluck very short hairs from the itching

areas as it is, I have not tried it yet. I have recently discovered that rubbing

alcohol seems to help but I still have to pluck the hair before.

Jimmy--



I had a lot of itching after my outbreaks of MRSA, too.  Some of it I thought

was just psychological and from the stress of the MRSA.  I don't really know but

it seems to be better.  I haven't had an outbreak since August, 2008.  I believe

there is so much more to MRSA than any of us know. We may never know how much of

our other symptoms are due to MRSA.



Do you use any moisturizer on your skin.  It does seem to help but you need to

be careful with any products that you use that you don't contaminate the product

with your hands especially since you do have itchy skin that might be hiding

bacteria.

Thank you for responding. The infection as it stands right now is just the spots

on the skin and vary in size from small pimples that otherwise look like any

ordinary pimple but some



get to be about a half inch as far as the actual sore but the surrounding area

can be an inch or more of redness.. It seems that as soon as one drains and

starts to heal another appears in a different spot. Since leaving the hospital,

the illness has been seems to be just causing skin problems. I can go to the

emergency room if necessary, but I am also concerned that if I was treated for

the illness as it stands right now and the disease mutates, if it were to

reoccur later then there might not be anything to treat it, based on what I have

read and talked to health educators. It would seem to me that unless I can get

rid of the disease outright that I may be better off to wait until I really need

to be given antibiotics. I may be wrong on that, but so far I haven't found out

Hi everyone

I just found out I have MRSA, but I think I've had it for a long time. I have

been getting (small)boils on and off for about 4 years. My doctor at the time

didn't seem that interested, so I thought it was no big deal.

I'm a pretty quite person so I didn't ask any questions I just came home and

started looking up stuff on the internet. I seems like this germ is

non-stoppable.

I baby sit my grandson, and today he cut his foot, and I totally freaked out. I

didn't know If I should even touch him. I felt like a gaint cootie. I scrubed my

hands and dabbed it with alcohol, after I dabbed the alcohol I went to blow on

it and thought maybe it's in my breath. I thru a bandaid on it.  I'm afraid to

touch him, or anyone else. I couldn't live with myself if I gave this to

someone. Will this germ be on and in me forever? I'm on doxycycl, and Mupirocin

for my nose. Can I touch people without worring?

Hi Jo,



You may always worry about giving it to someone.  I do.  However, rest assured

that this is a very common bacteria in our community now.  It is even possible

that your Grandson carried the bacteria to you.  Not everyone that carries it

will get infected.



Dicloxycilian is not a very good antibiotic (ABx) for MRSA.  You should

immediately seek the advice of a good Infectious Disease Doctor.



Also, please take some time to read over my website: www.MRSAsupportgroup.com. 

There is alot of info there including natural treatments and preventatives.  Any

time my kids get a scrape or cut, we put Allimed on it.  We also take it orally.

Me & my baby girl recovered with little to no ABx.  Our story is on my website. 

Most natural products can be used at the same time as ABx.

  Jo,? doxycycline is indeed a common antibiotic used to successfully treat MRSA

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.? Just remember

that you need to replace the good bacteria in your digestive tract that the

antibiotic is killing off, so eat yogurt with active cultures or take

probiotics.?

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).

I couldn't tell due to the spelling but that definitely makes more sense...

Sorry to Jo, Lori and everyone for any confusion.  I read so much about MRSA I

think my eyes are starting to cross!  ;-)



Anything ending in "..cillin" is not good but, yes indeed, some MRSA is still

susceptible to Doxycycline.  Lori, I'm so glad it worked for you, too, and

thanks for the correction.



Off topic:  We took our dog to the vet today and realized we needed to decline a

drug for our puppy that was a sulfa antibiotic.  Turns out there is a totally

safe and acceptable alternative animal pharmacuetical drug that is not an

antibiotic.  We avoid antibiotics as much as possible (even for our pets since

staph is so easily passed around).

I have had it for 2 years and I have to admit I am still finding out about it.

First talk again to your doctor. Ask him if he can refer you to a specialist if

you don't feel like he is answering all your questions. You need to ask

questions because unfortunely a lot of doctors are not up to speed on it. My

understanding at the present time is that it can be transferable by

infected skin making contact with a cut. Be careful. If the infected area is

covered the chances are you will not pass it on.

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,
