I has a MRSA infection and had to have my prothesis knee removed because that was where the infection. I was septic and would like to know what to expect long term. I have went from having degenerative disc disease to Spinal Stenois within six months. I was hit by a 5 ton Army truck while active duty and have old injuries. Does MRSA affect the bones when infection is bloodborn? |

I think to help decreace the risk of germs being transfered from one person and or place , nurses should not be allowed or stopped from traveling to and from hospital in there uniforms. How can you not tranfer gems and bugs back to the hospitals and patients when they wear the uniforms at home in there cars ,buses and pubs. and then take all these gems and dirt straight back to our sick patients. Ithink this is the next big step the NHS should take to try and clean up our filthy and deadley NHS. PLEASE ,PLEASE WE MUST PASS A LAW THAT MAKES ALL NHS WORKERS CHANGE IN TO CLEAN UNIFORMS WHEN THEY ARRIVE AT WORK AND CHANGE AGAIN BEFORE THEY LEAVE FOR HOME, AND MUST WEAR A CLEAN UNIFORM EVERY DAY. I can not see why this has not been brought to light, ,i mean these nures bring germs from children and babies and animals and then jump in to a dirty car or bus MY GOD it is so obvious why has no one spotted this before or do they just not care that our loved ones are being killed from the... read more |

I find it a little distressing that people are all to willing to point the finger at NHS staff. Over the recent outbreaks of MRSA My wife has suffered chronic ill health oer the past thirty years. With numerous in patient terms for a number of complaints. Cancer, three times, requiring Radio and Chemo' therapy, along with major surgery. Renal failure and fortunately renal transplant. All this along with other less intensive in patient terms. All this has taken place in different hospitals. So the risk of MRSA is foremost in my mind. However In my observations, the greatest risk of infection does not come from the hospital staff. It comes from the unhygienic patients. Then the other scruffy and unhygienic visitors. Walking in and out by the hour every day. There may be room for improved cleanliness in some hospitals. But to me this is where the infection is getting into our hospitals. Would you believe, when my wife had her transplant and was recovering somewhat and ... read more |

hi ann, i read your post and i nearly cried...we too are going through wittnessing our mum slowly slipping away. believe it or not my mum went into a southside hospital and within four days had a pressure sore...then 3 weeks after she was released she got a chest infection again, this time she was sent to a northside hospital...4 days later i was told mum had MRSA...but what really sickened me was that the hospital tried to pass the buck, they said she had MRSA when she went in there...but if thats the case then the southside hospital are negilent, because they sent her home with MRSA without telling us. my mum has alzheimers disease and i have looked after her for 7 years...without her ever getting a pressure sore i might add. right now my mum is in critical condition in hospital and i have been told that the MRSA is in her lungs as well...so to be honest i dont hold out much hope for her ever coming out of the hospital alive. i'm going to complain to the minister of ... read more |

i have a friend in the uK who was rushed to hospital last friday with severe back pain. she was kept in intensive care over the weekend and sedated and then moved to a normal ward. no one knew what was wrong with her so she was kept semi sedated and bed bound. she has been seen by a bio chemist today who said she has staph aureus bactraemia and asked if she has been in contact with anyone from foreign parts or had she been abroad. her husband was told it can be fatal but they have caught it in time and should be able to treat it over a 6 week period. My question is this. Is this MRSA and could she have had it prior to going into hospital and if so would this have caused the severe and i mean severe pain in the back area. thanks |

I had a gastric band fitted 5 weeks ago and had my first fill only this week 2ml's. Today i have had a small baked potatoe with cheese eaten slowly. I expected to feel full after the 3rd fork full. Is this process gradual or will i feel i can eat most soft foods without the feeling of satiety. In addition is there someone that can fill the gastric band in Edinburgh or Glasgow as i had to travel to Manchester. Thanks Catherine |

MRSA - DAD

My Dad became ill on August 8th and was taken into hospital. After a week we found out he had MRSA. He was rushed into emergency theatre to drain fluid from his right knee and left wrist and and taken to a high dependancy unit. From there, on to a ward but in is own room. There was no barrier dressing. I was advised by the Consultant that at 84 years of age, deterioation could be rapid. My Dad fought and with treatment and 'killer drugs' came through. He was released from hospital five weeks later (Wednesday last) and has certainly been looking better. He has eaten well in the hospital and eats well at home. I believe the nursing staff kept me up to date with progress and I saw his files with Doctor's comments often. I insisted in it. His vital organs were fine and slowly, it would appear the MRSA is decreasing in his blood streams. He is now home and on treatment. He has an out patients appointment in a week (Today is the 16th September) I am still so scared. His muscles in ... read more |

I posted some information earlier this morning (16th September). I forgot to mention the pain and swelling in my Dad's knee joints and how his ankles are swollen. He had a knee replacement in April 2007 and this was so successful, he was walking so well - Will he get his strength back? (For all the other story - please see below) I am desperate for reassurance and strength. I keep going outwardly for my Dad and Mum (who is 78) but I don't know what else I can do. |

back in february this year my wife and i contracted mrsa. i was in the royal london hospital in whitechapel for 4 days as i had cellulitus in my right arm. a couple of weeks after this my wife had a boil swabbed and came back positive for mrsa. the hospital 'lost' my swab results so i did not get told i had it until the end of march. the following weeks were filled with frustration as we both experienced multiple boils and abcesses and went through a variety of anti-biotics (flucloxacillin, amoxicillin, erythromicin etc...) we felt we were not being taken seriously and were being fobbed off as the mrsa was not in our blood stream. we were even told we would have to go private to see a specialist and be treated. shocking! after a year of trying my wife fell pregnant...perfect timing. this has complicated things...after many a fiasco with the microbiologist and various 'medical professionals' it was decided we will not be treated anymore. great. so with our baby due at the end of the ... read more |
