How to get rid of staph?

by heyitzme, Aug 25, 2009 04:09PM
I've had staph for as long as I can remember. When I was little(8-9) I noticed little red bumps growing on my head. It was not a problem and just stayed as red bumps but at the age of 13 those little bumps became boils and pimples due to the staph infection. I've been on all kinds of antibiotics and I found the most useful is clindamycin. My doctor stopped prescribing it to me because it was destroying my liver. He said I was able to take them again after a year of not taking them. Even though it's nearly a year, he doesn't want to prescribe me them and always gives me the erythromycin and cephalexin everytime I go into the clinic. These drugs are COMPLETELY useless but the doctor still prescribes them to me. He's ignoring the problem here. I've probably taken Cephalexin 500mg for over 5 months. Of course not right after the other. So I believe that my staph is probably resistant to that antibiotic yet my doctor refuses to believe me. Which is quite often when I have outbreaks. Now...my case is kinda rare...I have staph infection on my chest,shoulder blades, face area, and scalp. Having it in all these places is EXTREMELY hard to take care of and really painful. Even one bump is already painful but imagine 10 around the same area? I'm in utmost pain here. I'm at the age of 17 soon to be 18 and my medical is going to be gone when I do turn 18. I was wondering what I should do? I often get depressed knowing that it's been 10 years and I'm not close to curing it and have lost hope. This is not s. aureus btw. What is my best option? Please and thank you.
