      From katypaty March 8

      Hi FreeSpirited-It sounds like you need a different anti-biotic to try. I've taken these also-been on about 6 in the past 4 years. I'm allergic to sulfa. We can write more if you'd like-we have a lot in common! KatyPaty

    • Close MRSA

      I was diagnosed with MRSA 3 years ago, right after visiting my infected grandfather in the hospital. So I guess that how I was infected. I deal with MRSA once or more a month, while also dealing with IBS. I am worn to the max and am here for support and to try to help others.

      Bactrim DS Somewhat Helpful
      I gets rid of the sore, but an infection comes right back after a week or so of stopped treatment. It causes me to have bad stomach pains and causes unbareable yeast infections.

      It burns my throat and just runs out of my nose.
