My question is are there lasting effects on a person's body long after the MRSA is treated. Such as extreem tiredness, lack of energy etc. |

A Poem found among the possessions of an old lady who died in a geriatric ward of a hospital in Scotland.......copied from mrsa and families network website . What do you see, nurses, what do you see, what are you thinking when you're looking at me? A crabby old woman, not very wise, uncertain of habit, with faraway eyes. Who dribbles her food and makes no reply when you say in a loud voice, "I do wish you'd try!" Who seems not to notice the things that you do, and forever is losing a stocking or shoe. Who, resisting or not, lets you do as you will with bathing and feeding, the long day to fill Is that what you're thinking? Is that what you see? Then open your eyes, nurse; you're not looking at me. Ill tell you who I am as I sit here so Still, as I use at your bidding, as I eat at your will. I'm a small child of ten with a father and mother, brothers and sisters, who love one another. A young girl of sixteen, with wings on her feet, dreaming that so... read more |

also referred to as nosocomial infection - classified as a strict hospital infection. I know this isnt MRSA but dont know where else to look. Got this from having bone marrow samples taken in UK hospital end December 08 - has anyone else suffered from this following bone marrow extraction. If so how did you get rid of it? How long did it take, etc. etc. Any info gladly appreciated. Thanks for your time. |

Hi, only quick post as in so much pain today. I had mrsa sepsis and c diff in summer 2008 and have now been diagnosed with ME by my GP. I've only had the symptoms (not listing them all now) since the infections in which I was extremely poorly. I wanted to ask if my gp can refer me to any specialists regarding the ost mrsa sepsis infection, because of the symptoms I've been getting???! Had anyone been referred to a specialist? And what kind of specialist? Would be really grateful for a reply. |

Kids with MRSA

I have 2 children with MRSA, one who is almost 7 and the other almost 2. The abscesses have been drained as they appear, and the boys put on antibiotics, but never have I been given much information about the infection... I want to know what the risk of them developing serious illnesses or worse is. I was told at the children's hospital that bleach baths are good... but once the VISIBLE signs are gone - what is happening in their little bodies? I know it's not gone.. |

http://www.solicitorsfromhell.co.uk If you have tried to access some kind of justice for your or your relatives pain and suffering and have been let down by the legal system, the above is a site where you can have a rant. You are entitled to freedom of speech under the Human Rights act. Equally, if you are considering using the legal system to gain some kind of redress (good luck you will need it believe me....!) you might want to check out the solicitors listed to know who to avoid. |

MRSA IN ROYAL VISTORIA HOSPITAL AND MUSGRAVE P

My brother inlaw was in the Royal Victoria Hospital Belfast and caught MRSA after a spinal injury. He was transferred to Musgrave Park, Belfast to rehabilitate where he promptly caught C-difficile. Then he went back to the Royal and promptly caught MRSA again. This is crazy. I used to work in Cardiology and we would never have been allowed to do the things I saw in these 2 Hospitals. No changes of gloves, no hand washing between patients, sharing wheeled toilet commodes between infected and non-infected patients, no barrier nursing, no patient advice before entering, no soap in dispensers, filthy floors everywhere - it is a gothic nightmare to behold. Whatever happened to hard working conscientious cleaners who did it for the sense of patient well-being and protection? The high point of it all was the 'scrubbed' surgeon walking through the common room area, still gloved and gowned, where 2 patients were sitting - one with c-difficile, the other with MRSA. Lunacy. |

I was diagnosed with Mrsa about 3 yrs. ago. wnen I had a terrible stye in my eye. I took an antibiotic for about 2 weeks, then realizing I had a reaction to it. I then learned I was allergic to sulfa. After that I never took anything else. I have never had any boils or more styes, but I have recently for the past 5 months not been feeling well in my head I first thought it was a bad tooth which needed a root canal had that done didn't change a thing. Now 5 months later I'm off work for 2 weeks. the doctor thought it was exhaustion fromm workink I work a 40 job and a part time job. I'm slleeping in every day and getting plenty of sleep, still feeling bad. My heads in a fog I feel tired, I get this metal taste to my mouth . I take allergy meds its not that. Need some help does anyone have these kind of symtoms? |

forgot one important thing to say when i started the last new topic. i have very little outbreaks on my skin ever. when i did i was able to take care of it easily. every once in a while i might get one. my doctor at the time told me it wasn't any cause for alarm. then later the doctor had to give up his practice due to supposedly dementia. so i am wondering if he even knew what he was talking about for sure. i always questioned the fact that he continually gave me antibiotics for continual sinus infections. appreciate any medical professional answering both of my new topics and anyone else that has had experience with this. thanks so much!!! |
