medical question ?

I am on another list and some people were talking about a form of staph infection called "staph mrsa". Could that be what you have?

Here is a link to the CDC and what they say about it:

Be careful, I don't like all the talk in these articles about IV antibiotics, get second opinions.
I had a staph infection on my skin for 2 years [boils]. No sugar, plenty of plain yogurt and garlic, and more vegis and water have resolved it...

i finished the meds , but i still have a hard lump on my jaw the size of a quarter. i have to go back on the 8th for a follow up. hopefully it doesnt start getting big again. she did say it is very hard to treat and it was a myrsa staph. i am afraid to read too much about it or i will get myself all panicked ! lol

From what I read it did not sound to bad. It says that it is restit to most of the common antibaitoics. So you usually end up having to take a higher dose med. that is less common. I also read that it is pretty contigiaous. Hope you get fully well soon....

thanks rebel and kitty for the info. it is contagious, but no one else has gotten it here. i am at a loss as to where i picked it up. i am a phobic about washing my hands. espescially when i use public restrooms. i dont really go too many places. its hard to tell.

Here is basically FAQ list on this. Maybe it can help you.

Just first want to say with extreame sympathy, I hope you feel better soon. Also wanted to say I didnt share and was wondering if I should tell you that I was rushed to the ER on Monday night at 10:30PM for what I thought was a heart attack. I felt like I was being squeezed and also stabbed in the heart by a grizzly bear! The pain was so hurendous, I had to call 911, as I couldnt catch my breath and my cheat hurt SO<SO FREAKIN bad! Anyways, thats what reminded me, my BP was 140 over {something} and it was so stressful and painful ..... Get well soon!
