bup
I have been exposted and contracted MRSA an had my first bout in june of 04 and next january of 05 and still the present.  I have been on vacamicine and zyvox for almost 19 months with many secondary problems including dpt's from 4 picklines that were incerted for my iv regament.  I work in the corrections field and am exposed to it regularly and can't seem to get better.  I have been having problems with my health that i believe that the long term antibiotics are causeing is there something i should be doing to help myself or be aware of besdes the precautions for contracting or reinfecting my self.  I have been told i am colonized.

Mrsa is resistant to the antibiotics drs prescribe.  They can be good for a bit, but don't cure it. I read abt taking anicillin supplements (from garlic). It's a natural antibiotic. I justed started taking it so I don't know how well it works, but I've read good things. And since it's natural I can take it with my other meds.
