Avatar f tn This all started in September of 2014. I had a horrible, horrible ear infection. One of the worst pains I've ever felt in my life. I went to the er and was prescribed zpac. Since then I've had one at least every other month. I've been on several different antibiotics. None of these ear infections were that bad or painful but still there. I had tubes placed in March of 2016 which did nothing. Fast forward to New years eve and I had another one.
Avatar f tn Just quit working there a month ago because of this... I have had mrsa for a while now been on antibiotics for 2 months now doxycicline.
Avatar f tn I'm a 58 y/o female who had a left total knee replacement 15 months ago with a subsequent MRSA sepsis. I underwent a second surgery where the left knee was debrided and the plastic part of the joint replacement was changed. I was treated with 8 weeks of IV Vanco and oral Rifampin. Now I have continual pain in my left buttock with "sores" only on the left side only. I continue with pain in the left buttock muscle, as well as most of my other joints.
Avatar f tn My husband and I have dealt with nearly 20 MRSA infections in the past two years. He was in the hospital and had a fifth of his lung removed at one point. He just went to a new doctor, and this one gave him Doxycycline and Prednisone. (Antibiotic and Steroids.) Since steroids suppress immune system functions, I think that's completely backwards. They were prescribed for the MRSA. Have you ever heard of sterioids prescribed to help with MRSA treatment?

Avatar m tn t hardly sleep or eat my HIV, hep-c is pending and am still taking acyclovir for possible herp as well as doxycycline for the MRSA on my junk, the acyclovir must not be working 4 days into it and get another small white head. I don't know what to think but I feel like I have HIV because of the MRSA , my left leg had begun to cramp up in the morning and have a nagging feeling like I worked it out but I don't move around that much during the day.
441951 tn?1275762988 My daughter just fought off a bout with it and it took about 3 days to find the right antibiotic. She ended up having to take Doxycycline which is fortunately used for the less dificult strains to treat. MRSA is becoming pretty common anymore. She thinks she contracted it from the YMCA - working out and using a community excercise mat. Who would of thought.
Avatar n tn Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with HS about two years ago. It started as a few small pimples on my thighs and then under my armpits that eventually turned into nasty, inflamed, infected boils. This went on and off for a few months. My dermatologist injected corisone directly into the boils/bumps and put me on doxycycline, then oracea for about six months total.
8221281 tn?1397570972 I was given shot of Clindamyacin, initial DX was clinic acquired Staph infection / possibly MRSA. I was on Clindamyacin for 10 days. The condition improved a lot in that time but was not completely gone when I completed the antibiotics. April 6th the condition not only spread but was a lot worse. the doctor cultured one of the older lesions by removing the scab and sending it to the lab. He gave me another shot of clindamyacin and then a 5 day course of Doxycycline and RX Muciporin.
Avatar f tn Hi I am a 28 yr old female, and I contracted a staph infection for the first time in July of 2009...and the culture tested positive for MRSA. It first appeared as a skin boil on my left cheek, that I thought was a vicious spider bite. Within 2 days my entire head swelled up 2 times it's original size, my eyes were literally little squinty lines on my swollen face. I was hospitalized for about a week. I was given Clindamyacin, Vancomyacin and someother antibiotic that started with a Z..
Avatar m tn I don't have a infection the doctors said today. I am on daily doxycycline because of mrsa from spin surgery. However that's under control. I just don't understand why my ears are swollen shut.
Avatar m tn Ask your primary doc to do a throat culture for urea plasma and your urologist to culture your penis/ urin for the same. YOU MAY NEED ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT FOR LONGER. ONCE THE CULTURE COME BACK THE DOC WILL NO WHAT ANTIBIOTICS TO PRESCRIBE. I hope you feel better.

494623 tn?1278279352 I have a Friend in Canada who has been on Minocycline for her RA for years and says she could not function without it,I asked my Doctor to prescribe this for me but he says it's not proven to be effective so wouldn't give me it !!! I have read that it IS effective not as a cure but by killing the bacteria that may be causing the RA symptoms. I am totally convinced it was the MRSA infection that caused my RA in the first place as I was absolutely fine before that happened ....
Avatar m tn I have also found out that there is a salve or medicated pad called Medihoney, used for MRSA and general wound care for both humans and pets. Have you heard of that?
Avatar f tn I took Sulfameth and Doxycycline for a week, and the skin in the area absolutely freaked out. The staph infection cleared, but I got this bumpy rash immediately adjacent to my vagina. I was concerned that it could be herpes because I had had sex with a new partner (we used condoms, but there was maybe a five minute period once when there wasn't a condom involved) about a month before the staph infection.
Avatar n tn ) In a host surface a person can be a carrier of MRSA (colonized) and not even be aware, therefore spreading contimination quite unwittingly. Unfortunately, a carrier can host MRSA indefinately. MRSA can live on non-host surfaces for days, weeks, months depending on the environmental circumstances.
Avatar n tn of 07, came down with a MRSA infection, was treated for 30 days with cubisun. Towards the end of the treatment, swelling in my neck took me on a trip to the ENT doctor, who in turn sent me to a Endo, who came up with Hashimoto`s( under active thyroid).
Avatar f tn and without visible sores she could not possibly have MRSA. They have also told her there is no test for MRSA. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE DOCTORS STATEMENTS ARE TRUE AND ACCURATE.
Avatar m tn He prescribed Doxycycline 2 times a day for two weeks. I am still in the process of finishing that medicine. So my questions are thus: 1. Can ureaplasma urealyticum cause rashes? What would cause such a rash? 2. I am also worried about herpes. In my panic (of course) of being diagnosed with an STD, I started paying attention, especially since the rash had moved up towards my anus and I had started feeling uncomfortable.
Avatar n tn My fiancé has MRSA, he got it from a spider bite after being quarantined in the hospital for several month 2 years ago, they thought it was gone but he got an attack a few months ago and it started going to his kidney. He was in the hospital several months this time and when he left they told him he will be on antibiotics the rest of his life and needed monthly blood tests.
Avatar n tn I was treated twice with Doxycycline (2 mos.) for the Lymes but the treatment did not work and the doctors suspected that I may not have Lupus but had Lymes the entire time. In July 2009, a year later, I was tested and the IGM Lymes test was again positive. The neurologist confirmed I have Lymes Disease but told me that it should have showed up on the IGG test and not the IGM test because of the length of time I have had Lymes. Now I have numerous questions. 1.
