Anyone had mrsa cellulitis without recurrences for more than a year? |
I have had reocurring mrsa cellulitis x 4, on and off for 10 months. The abcess comes around day 8 or so. I have had two positive cultures in the past so I know it is mrsa. I have has a negative bone scan. Blood culture came back positive for gram + in the preliminary however there was no growth after 5 days. I have had countless pill and iv antiobiotics. Bactrim worked okay but it came right back. I am in week 5 of 6 of iv cubicin treatments and it is still not gone. Has anyone had similar problem that was able to get rid of it for good? Does anyone know if an MRI would be appropriate? Last time I asked the doctor he said no but I bet if I was his family member I would have my mri. I don't have much faith in doctors right now. I am seeing a different ID doctor this week however I would like to be as educated and informed as possible when I go in to see him. I want to know what tests or antibiotics to ask for. I have also been doing the hibiclense, health food, and immune system boosters. I need help with what to ask for at my appointment on Thursday. I have close family members that suffer from mrsa and the way we have kept it at bay is to make sure hands are kept clean and bleach bedding, towels,ect. Bactrim worked well for my kiddo. Keep nails short and clean. Use body scrubs to keep dead skin off and use an antibacterial bodywash. I know how painful it is and how scary it can be. Don't think an MRI would be helpful but if the new Dr does I hope it helps in some way. They may have to do surgery and cut out the abcess. Good luck to you! My daughter had a MRSA infection on her eyelid last year. We tried numerous antibiotics for three months before finally getting results with a combination of Bactrim and Refampin. She has been infection free for 7 months now. Hope that helps. |
