I have had MRSA, confirmed and tested too many times to count. I contracted MRSA at age 12. I am now 30 (F) and I have had well over 500 abscesses. I have been treated in the past by a Dr of infectious disease who was baffled that I still had outbreaks because my skin tested negative for colonization. However, every single outbreak I get tests positive for MRSA and is very resistant to nearly everything but Macrobid. Vancomycin has not helped and I am borderline allergic to it as it caused me to have convulsive vomiting. Rocephin, Clindamycin, Keflex, Z-pack… and others do not kill this nasty hanger-on. I am allergic to sulfides. I have had nose treatments with Mupirocin and I use antimicrobial soap everyday from head to toe. I wash my hands so much they crack and bleed. I have also had Polinidal disease which tested MRSA positive. I cannot rid myself of this aggressive disease. The hardest part is that I get lesions mostly on the labia majora. The lymph nodes in the groin swell and the scar tissue and indurated tissue is so bad that the boils no longer come to head themselves. As of 2006 I must be lanced nearly every time or the infection spreads under the skin until there needs to be multiple areas lanced to initiate secondary healing. Years back I was tested vigorously because my blood had an "unidentified white blood cell" they quarantined my home and I went in for them to take my blood. I never heard back from anyone (Michigan, 2003). It is important to note that I do not have a compromised immune system such as HIV or Hepatitis. However, I do have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I am also type 0+. However, my T-Cell count and white blood count is most certainly effected.
Now I suffer on a regular basis in many ways. My self-esteem takes an exponential hit. My sex life is effected along with a loss of feeling in the general area of constant infection. My right labia majora used to be the main affected area before I had that area marcupialized in 2004. Now the MRSA mostly targets the left labia majora and the lower part of my thigh and buttocks. However, I have had the infection on my face, neck, legs, back, chest, wrists, abdomen, arm pits…. you name it. I have had as many as 7 lesions at once. I can go months without any sign of infection at all. During those months of reprieve I do not back away from treatment. I have gone back and forth on the constant antimicrobial treatments for the skin to avoid dry skin cracks that are a liability for infection. I fear being too far away from the ER in case I get a really aggressive bout and it gestates in less than 24 hours into something that needs to be addressed immediately. I have psoriasis which also infects.
We are constantly cleaning the shower with bleach. We are constantly cleaning all surfaces. We do not use the same towels or clothes. I don't even shake hands with strangers anymore because I am so sterile that I am likely to contract something new quite easily. In the ER if I have to be there for only a short while I am likely to stand and I try not to touch anything. I have developed a rather negative stance on public places. I wash my hands before I start shopping. I carry antibacterial gel in my purse. It is to the point that my friends with HIV are less careful than I am. I have never heard of anyone having this bacteria for as long as I have (that were confirmed). The central Mayo clinic probably has a file room just for me… I know they store samples of everything they get so I imagine I have my own directory. You know, file the MRSA under D for Dana…. That's my story.
MRSA is highly communicable. Skin to skin contact and skin to surface contact will pass this bacteria. It is not a disease but it acts like one.... it is a bacteria. It causes a plethora of problems both medical and psychological. only 1% of staff infections are MRSA positive and of those I have never heard of an infection that lasted longer than a few years.... let alone 18.
Have you used Betadine surgical scrub? It kills bacteria on the skin. It uses iodine. Iodine is also absorbed through the skin. In the body, iodine kills internal infections.
If you have not used it, it is definitely worth a try.
I am battling a severe Golden Staph infection myself. For the first 5 years I was prescribed antifungal creams. No doctor did tests to see what it was, until I had boils all over my body. The largest ulcers were 40 mm across. I still have a huge battle ahead. Betadine is an essential part of treatment.
I think I can beat this if I can go to a very hot place on the beach, where I can keep warm all of the time, swim every day, and use Betadine. I have been unable to work for so long, I am restricted due to finances, I am trying to sell things so I can go. I have been unable to sell things quickly.
Diet is also very important. Do everything you can to promote immunity.
Two things I would recommend: Colloidal Silver and oregano oil. Utopia Silver is a really good brand. They also have a CS generator that you can buy to make CS at home. Start making your own CS. If you heat the distilled water before you hook up the silver rods, and throw some Utopia Silver in the water to "seed" it, it will speed up the process. Check out the Colloidal Silver forum here for support. Drink 1-2 ozs daily.
Get some Oregano Oil, and some empty gel capsules and put several drops in the capsule and take it twice daily.
I would continue this regimen for several months (6-9). Take a good probiotic before bed (away from the CS and oregano oil) to help keep the good gut flora.
I fed my dog oregano oil in gel caps for 6 months and completely eradicated her c. difficile infection that she had had for 4 years.
I've used CS successfully on my cat for bladder infections.
Do not wait one second, your note broke my heart. After much research I was blessed to locate an expert who not only can extinguish the abcesses on the skin but KILL the growing infection inside your body.
It is time to arm yourself with expert knowledge and take action. Just try this for yourself please. There is hope and you can heal and get your life back.
PHenomenol is the product that attaches to the lactic acid your body is producing in abundance and will wash out of your body. The product can even be applied onto the skin which will kill the abcesses too.
Stop eating sugar since this is the fuel for staph. There is so much more for you to learn on this web site.
You may call them at 800.620.3365 right now if you choose.
Antibiotics are only temporary support, organic whole foods can not kill it, alkaline water can't touch it...you will learn important information on this site. (I found them on a Science newsletter.)
