hello to all, i have been fighting MRSA for so long and i have been through so many different scenarios i pretty much dont know what to do anymore, maybe someone can help me....
i was diagnosed with cellulitis on 3/04 it was a throbbing red sore on my stomach, they said it would go away but it didnt so they took a culture and it was official it was MRSA. they initially prescribed me AVELOX which worked for the first month but soon re-emerged, at this point i decided to take this seriously another visit to the ER got me a script of AVELOX and MUPROCIN for my nose.in an attempt to eradicate this i totally sanitized my home i cleaned all blankets clothes and went through 14 cans of lysol. to make a long story short i have gotten these sores or boils 37 times in 3 years i have been to the ER and PCP so many times that i gave up and just started getting my own antibiotics. but i cant continue this is getting out of hand and everytime i go to the ER they tell me they are going to prescribe BACTRIM DS which i have been prescribed 14 times with no luck of getting well. i have thousands of dollars in debt because of this and i currently dont have medical insurance. im afraid if i go again they will keep me with this vicious cycle and not solve the problem, but i need help and i dont know where to go or what to do anymore, ive read some articles that mention vancomycin and have told the treating doctors about it and they just say ok here is some bactrim. im all out of ideas and money and slowly losing my mind due to this ongoing dilemma pls if anyone knows what i can do pls tell me!!!
