after er
They feel that I may have MRSA, although that test takes several days to run. They changed my antibiotics and and changing the care of the wound to try and get it to go down. The antibiotics I am on now are not helping. They also gave me lots more pain pills because it hurts so intensely.
They are sending me to wound care to treat it. They said it will take weeks for it to go away.
So the question of the day is where did I get it from?
I am in a low risk category, and no one I know has it. Maybe my sister who works in healthcare? Or my mom’s aids? Or at therapy for Samara? Or the movie theatre? Or Wal-Mart? who knows.
I just wish this thing would go away it is painful and I am not looking forward to letting it heal.
Yuck.

That was my first diagnosis before I went looking online… MRSA. Shit sucks, girl. And realistically, you could have picked it up anywhere there are people over the last few months (could have sat dormant for a while)… gotten the germ under your nails, scratched without thought, germs passed. Definitely need to be aggressive with it… it can turn septic and be fatal.

We had young, health people come in with what looked like a boil and ended up having to excise the disease out. Hope wound care is able to do as much as possible to clear it up quick. (HUG)

Wow! I’m glad they changed things up and are apparently treating it properly now. Get well soon!

it seems like a lot of military personel are getting MRSA.If i remember correctly people who carry MRSA have it in their nose.It also could have been on your skin and you had a open wound and it got into some how. But like a noter said,it could have been from anywhere… I hope it gets better…

Actually, you could have been a carrier of it for all of your life and it hasn’t taken effect until now. MRSA is more common than you may think. That being said, just about anyone you know can be a carrier and they not know it either.
