PLEASE HELP!!! i HAVE BEEN DIAGNOISED W/A STAFF INFECTION CALLED "MRSA". I HAD FOOT SURGERY TWICE ABOUT 2 YRS AGO, AND HAD HARDWARE IN MY FOOT FOR SIX WEEKS. I HAD SOME "DIABETIC SORES" AFTER MY 1ST SURGERY, AND THEY WERE STILL PRESENT WHEN I HAD THE 2ND SURG. 6 MTHS LATER. THEY STARTED OUT ON MY ARMS, THEN MOVED TO MY LEGS, I ALSO HAD SOME ON MY UPPER BACK. STOMACH AND BUTTOCKS. ANTIBIOTICS WOULD NOT CLEAR THEM UP. WHEN THE DR. TOOK A SAMPLE FROM ONE OF THE WORSE SORES ON MY LEG, THIS STARTED A BIGGER PROBLEM. IT GREW BIGGER IN DEPTH AND WIDTH, AND LEAKED FLUID CONSTANTLY. I WAS GIVEN "BACTRIBAND CREAM" AND WAS TOLD TO WASH IT WITH "DIAL" SOAP. AFTER WEEKS, THEN MONTHS OF NO IMPROVEMENT I ASK MY DR IF HE WOULD REFER ME TO A "WOUND CENTER". THEY (NURSES OR TECHS) TREATED THEM WITH SILVER AND WRAPPED MY LEGS IN 4 LAYERS OF DRESSING. I HAVE BEEN GOING THERE FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW, AND I STILL HAVE THAT ONE SORE THAT LEAKED SO MUCH, THAT WANT HEAL. IT IS A BIT LARGER AND I CHANGE IT AND ADD OITMENT AT LEAST FOUR TIMES A DAY, PLUS WASH IT WITH DIAL SOAP OR "HYBERCLENSE" DAILY. IT IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME AND THERE IS A YELLOW DISCHARGE EACH TIME I CHANGE IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW SINCE MAY 2004, AND I AM TIRED ALL THE TIME, TIRED OF THE PAIN IT CAUSES TIRED OF CLEANING IT AND MOST OF ALL, TIRED OF NO ANSWERS. I EVEN SAW A "IFECTIOUS DISEASE DR" HE RECOMMED THE WOUND CENTER. PERHAPS NO ONE KNOWS WHAT I SOULD DO. MY PAIN MANG DR WANT EVEN TREAT ME ANY MORE WITH INJECTIONS IN MY BACK FOR FEAR OF SPEADING INFECTION, AND HE DOES NOT PRESCRIBE PAIN MEDICINE. THEREFORE I JUST SUFFER. AND WORRY. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER AND NEEDS TO BE RESOVLED ASAP. HE SAID THAT I COULD EVEN LOSE MY LEG OR DIE. IS THIS TRUE? I READ SOMEWHERE ON THE NET THAT THE BEST SUCCESS SEEMS TO BE BY STAYING IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A FEW DAYS AND RECIEVE INTRAVEINIOUS ANTIBIOTICS. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS? I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR FACTS YOU MAY GIVE ME ASAP. SINCERELY, SANDRA
