MRSA and its after effects
I have MRSA.I got it after a surgery.I caught it from my grandmother at the nursing home she was in.I was healing from surgery when my grandmother was diagnosed. I told the nursing home I could not go back to see her till she was no longer contagious. I had a meeting with them and my family and they said she was no longer contagious after about 3-4 days, they lied.They never even did a second culture on her to determine she was no longer contagious and just put her back in her room, with another lady.
I have had to be on a PICC line a couple times now for it.
Mine was internal, and after my cultures came back showing no active MRSA, I was still feeling sick.I have now found that I catch everything I am around everytime,I go to the grocery store have someone sick near me, I am hit with it within a day or so.It also takes much longer to heal from viruses and flu I even find that cuts and bruises heal slower as well.In stead of a week with the flu I can be down up to 3 months.I also have found talking with others that I am not alone in that.My good days are different as well, I always feel like I have a minor case of the flu, it never gets better than that.
You can give this to your pets and vet as well.
We need new antibiotics, more stuff like Hibiclens, and Bactroban available at a lower cost.One tube Bactroban here $80.00 plus dollars, medicaid will only pay for 2 tubes a year.More docs need to take it seriously when treating you for anything, and realize this can be worse than they thought.
