Went to IDD last wk/Decolinazation

So, I had my appt (first one) with an IDD last week. I didn't currently have MRSA anymore but I went anyways... So basically he just did that test to see if I was colonized (I was, duh) and then he was saying since I'm allergic to bactrin and cyclindamycin it may end up being difficult to treat me (haha I freaked out a bit... I'm like "there ARE other meds right?" to which he said yes but anyways...)- so he said his "goal" is to get me decolinized so I won't get it again...

So he has me and my husband (even though he has never got it) taking a bleach bath twice a week (I'm such an idiot that I got bleach in my eye the first time I tried that) and baths with phisodex or something twice a week, except the manufacturer is not distributing that... so they said to use Hibicleanse, which I already use every day, more than once.. so I'm continuing that... doing the bleach baths for two months... washing our sheets every day for at least a month... We also went and sanitized EVERYTHING here including the mattress.... and um, other than that he has us using bactroban twice a day for five days. Um, does this actually work to decolinize people? I know I went eight months without before getting this time... so maybe just maybe... I'm still taking the allicin garlic daily (half of what I was taking with an active infection), the other supplements I'm saving in case I get it again. Still use tea tree soap and essential oil mixture I make...
I'm hoping this works.

" Is there no way you can be allergic to it? When I got my severe allergic reaction I had just finished taking clindamycin and had started taking the silver. The docs and me think it's the antibiotic... I am allergic to so many of them but I thought there was a tiny chance it was the silver and was hoping it wasn't... "
