Yes, allow us to "consider the source". I am a husband and father to an autistic three year old daughter. I have a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice Adminstration and Public Policy. With a BA in Criminal Justice. I work as an undercover narcotics officer, and volunteer some of my free time with local autistic charities. I aquired CA-MRSA in May of last year, and have been suffereing, similarly to many of you on here with the illness. I have been upfront and suportative on here, with providing what I know about this bacteria. I post my current picture and don ot feel the need to hide behind a computer to critize others, particuarly those who are ill with MRSA. My word of advice to you postman and others like you utilizing this site, watch your what you type, and remember everythign you write leaves an electronic trail. Stay well, all of you.

i'm eager to hear how you continue to do on the ph water. I am considering bacteriophage therapy to get rid of mine. We all want to get better,and that is a mutual goal. It's discouraging though to fight through this.

Not sure if you are calling me a charlatan, postman. My computer died, and I'm trying to type with my daughter's laptop, so my responses were less thought out. . Of course we ALL have to fight. NO-one else seems interested in our battles; we are relegated to an "acceptable loss" kind of mindset. (as if they can't do anything to stop the spread of antibiotic resistant infections and they expect a certain number of people to succumb).

Nurse is correct, we are treated as though we are expendable. The medical community needs to treat MRSA with further fortitude, and to self educate within the medial community on how to diagnosis and treat MRSA. There should be specialists that only handle MRSA cases. I believe that in the near future there will be such a type of dr. Untilthen, we need to continue our individual battles, and to support and love one another sufferign with this disease-not project our shortcommings onto others on this site. Get with the program potman, before it is too late for you son.
