Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi ladies, Haven't been around, you guessed it...sick as ever! I finally insisted on a wound culture & found out I have MRSA(methlicillin resistant staph). Wanda was right...thank you Wanda for pointing me in that direction! I'm still not convinced that mold and/or fungus are also a problem, but I'll see what this treatment does first as far as my skin is concerned. I go tomorrow for blood cultures(to see if it has gone systemic) which I'm pretty sure it has and for treatment. Don't know how long I've had it because no one was smart enough to culture my sores before! Just wanted to check in and say I'm back and will be, especially if I'm going to have to do IV Antibiotics twice a day! Cheryl PS Thank you again, Wanda!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Cheryl, I am so glad you finally have an answer! How long will you have to do IV antibiotics? Wow, twice a day....that sounds brutal! It must be a pretty tenacious infection, especially if it is systemic. Let us know how things go!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Cheryl, I'm thrilled for you that they found what was causing your outbreaks! . . . It's amazing that nobody had considered culturing the sores before! Hopefully you'll be feeling much better soon! What did they prescribe?
