    • Close MRSA

      On 07/12/07 I had mt first MRSA outbreak. It was so painfull and my doctor and lanced it and gave me anti's. Then on 07/24/07 I got another one this time she did not want to lance it and just sent a little fluid to get tested she told me come back on 07/30. Well on 0728/07 I was rushed to the hos with temp of 103.5 and was told it looked like MRSA. So they gave me 3 anti's to take again. This 2nd one was way worse cause my doc waited to long to treat. Still bad and I have lost alot of skin.
