Close MRSA

I have never really had any health problems. I first had staph in my right arm pit - it was horrible and painful. Approximately 2 months after it was treated with antibiotics I had MRSA in my left nasal cavity that immediately started swelling. I was put in the hospital 2 days later and placed on IV vanco for 3 weeks. It was one of the most horrible experiences ever.
