Please help me with my MRSA question?!
Question: Please help me with my MRSA question!?
I have been diagnosed with a MRSA infection on my butt cheek, of all places!. It has been cut open and drained twice already!. Prior to my second draining, I could barely walk, sit, nothing!. I am now on 2 antibiotics (cipro and I think its called doxycyclene)!. It is way better, as it is no longer spread down my leg!. However, I go back tomorrow AM and it still has some hardness around it and I am weak, at times!. Does the MRSA cause this weakness!? I want to avoid hospitalization, at all costs, as I have no one to take care of my 3yr, 1yr and 1 n 1/2 month old!. My husband has to work, or we will have absolutely no $$$ to live off of and cannot afford to pay someone to care for the kids!. It is hard enough on me that I have had to quite breastfeeding, much less if I had to live without my kids for Lord knows how many days or weeks!. I have never been so stressed in my life!. I sit around and cry as if it will help!. I am so scared that I will die or something and will no longer be here for my 3 kids, husband, and sisters n brother!. Please give me some words of encouragment!. Please tell me that everything will be okay!. I am no longer having fever and chills!. That has to be a plus, right!? Will I always have these problems!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, first work on boosting your immune system, take 1000mg vitamin C daily, take probiotics 2-3 times a day, this will help replenish the good bacteria in your system that the antibiotics has killed off, just make sure to take it at least 2 hours from the time you take your antibiotic!. Oil of oregano and olive leaf are good products to help fight the infection!. clean the area with tea tree oil!.
Eliminate ALL sugar in your diet, it feeds bacteria!. Take a good multivitamin daily and make sure you are eating healthy foods!. Put your body in its optimal nutritional state to help it fight the infection!.
If you have to go on IV antibiotics, you can have an PICC line inserted for those and home health can come and administer them or teach you/hubby how to do it at home!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

you should be okay, it could be a # of things, but it does not sound like it's getting worse, relax, I have worked with that stuff a lot, don't let the stories scare ya, God will watch over ya, as long as you do what your doc tells you to do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
MRSA is one thing and CA-MRSA (community-acquired Methicillin resistant Staph Aureus) is another thing!. The one that you have is not the aggressive one that kills people because it invades quickly!. I think you should do fine, as long as you follow your doctor's instructions!. There is a possibility that there is still a pocket of pus, and they have to drain it!. May be not!. The antibiotics that you are taking makes me think that you are allergic to sulfa (because Double strength Bactrim is used for MRSA) along with daily wound care and Bactroban ointment (the Bactroban for 7 days only)!. I don't think that the antibiotics that you are taking (the doxy) is doing anything!. Your Doctor needs to be more aggressive and consult an infectious disease guy over the phone!. Careful though, he might get offended, if he is one of those insecured docs!. I think that you should do fine, and I am not just saying that to be nice, I really mean it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
