Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 You ask good questions but will you come with me to these docs and ask the same question. They look, and shake their head were the MRSA status. They have no interest in making it “go down” unless I have an active open lesion like the infected portacat. This has been my experience to date from every doc I see. It is something they label on my chart like I have aids and nothing more…..That is the part I still don’t understand and essentially why I joined the list. Because I want the MRSA issue addressed now since I think it is stopping me from getting well everywhere else. The fact that I suddenly developed a rapidly escalating lung infection just after I joined the list was coincidental.

Why wouldn't any doctor want your MRSA infection to be going down.Also why wouldn't you want to be on an upward merri go round instead of the old downward spiralling one where you go see specialist after specialist with a whole gammit of CRAP treatments that just don't do anything IMO.I mean you get an improvement only to stop and start receeding again. I would want to see you add and add and wouldn't except anything short of full co- operation from your doctor due to your CLEAR MEDICAL HISTORY.. > > There's nothing dangerous about doxy for a year > but there is or may be difficulty in getting a doc > to RX it for a year..(see my other email) > > > > _____ > > From: infections > [mailto:infections ] > On Behalf Of dumbaussie2000 > Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2006 6:02 PM > infections > Subject: [infections] Re: > Anaphylactic shock, Electrolytes, Salt/C, > Ampehotericine B, Benicar etc. > > > > > Don't back off the doxy if it is really having a > major impact.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Yeah, you and me both. Even when we have diagnosed abx resistant bacteria, that knowledge results in no treatment. What is wrong here? I mean seriously? julie levitt <knightshotter@...> wrote: You ask good questions but will you come with me to these docs and ask the same question.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 I am in the drivers seat but I can’ write out the prescriptions. Some of my docs are not pro lengthy taking of antibx so I can drive all I want but just in circles. I don’t have an all in the head diagnosis luckily. Progressive MS and Neuro-Behcet’s but the MRSA is ignored; not in the head just igored because they are too busy trying to eradicate it within the hospital and stop new patients from getting it. Which docs prescribe it long –term, so I go to the right docs otherwise I can simply drive in circles till I die….Get it? Do you know how many docs have “fired me” for being in the driver’s seat and demanding proper care???

You basically should be sitting in the drivers seat at doctors appointments you can't be walking around with the all in your head diagnosis of everyone else. You actually need to practise way before your appointment date what you need and how to get it. > > > > There's nothing dangerous about doxy for a year > > but there is or may be difficulty in getting a > doc > > to RX it for a year..(see my other email) > > > > > > > > _____ > > > > From: infections > > > [mailto:infections ] > > On Behalf Of dumbaussie2000 > > Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2006 6:02 PM > > infections > > Subject: [infections] Re: > > Anaphylactic shock, Electrolytes, Salt/C, > > Ampehotericine B, Benicar etc. > > > > > > > > > > Don't back off the doxy if it is really having a > > major impact.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Working a doctor? This is a lesson that many of us still need to learn…Working them without pissing them off and having them “fire you” . I have a repeat history of being FIRED by doctors, yes asked to terminate my care there because of claims I was non-compliant with their decision ; read I wouldn’t let them run their ship……. I was initially a candidate for Novantrone, one of the chemos used for MS. I have some heart irregularity and liver function levels that meant the doctor wanted to hold off for a year before deciding to move to Novantrone. I did a number of IVIG trials (IV gamma gobulin) both in the hospital and in one month boosters but saw some relief from severe MS symptoms but the results didn’t keep and eventually insurance declined to pay any further. I did poorly on the interferons and was then put back on copaxone and developed further lesions in the next 2 MRIs so I am off that as well….So done with the CRABs for MS. I am starting week 4 of LDN. My ENT best meets Tony’s definition for being a doc who trusts that I know what I am doing and is willing to prescribe me meds if I can demonstrate the need. He is the one who is doing the LDN. My neuro and my ENT are very close and the neuro is also open to discussion . I see him tomorrow. I did get some antifungals (not long –term) as you all suggested. BTW, I do have an appt scheduled now but not till July back with the infectious disease clinic at UNC with a doc with special interest (she claims) in MRSA…Will be Reviewing her research studies on the internet now but appt isn’t till July.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 I think the trick is to say that abx /a/f really really helped, and I want MORE MORE MORE.
