Alvi and MRSA (New Here!!)

My name Is Alvi..I have Mrsa in my lungs. On my skin. And tested positive in my kidneys..Have had it over two years taken numerous meds. Including 5 rounds of Zyvox which never killed it..

So here I set in Tennessee with this dreaded bacteria that will take my life if someone doesnt come up with a solution soon which I fear at this point will not come..

Doctors will not say I am ZRSA which mean that Zyvox will not kill it but I know I am VRSA which means Vancoymician will not either..Look forward to hearing from others.

Hugs and Blessings,
Alvi

This answers my question whether MRSA can live/survive internally or not.
Anyone else out there?

Alvi, my deepest sympathy for you. If you have VRSA, there is nothing, at this point in time, that can be medicaly done for you. Vancoymician is the last resort antibotic, against all types of MRSA. Perhaps, you can utilize holistic meds, but I fear that your form of MRSA, although rare, is non-treatable with synthetic medications. I wish you well in your fight against MRSA.

Thanks for your replies..Yes it can live and survive internally..Unfortunately I am living proof of that..

No there really isnt anything that can be done..In the beginning they seemed to think that Zyvox would take care of it but here I set knowing after 5 rounds this is not true. It is a fight of my life and I do fear I will lose it at some point..Thanks for the well wishes..and I wish others well in the fight with MRSA

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
