and was told she had mrsa, sent her home and sent a nurse out 2wice a week
the day they told me she had this they had told me dhe was going to be in isolation and we would have to aera gloves and masks to enter room
an hour later they released her, then she came home got sicker and had to go back
this time they told me they were going to put her in a rehab
and then once again told me they had closed the wound and she could not go to rehab. trying to forcr her to sign a paper to go to their nurseing home

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
For one when I went though this ( many times now ) the meds can make you as sick as MRSA.I drank alot of gatorade and pedalite it was easy on my stomach and helped rehydrate me.You can also try club soda and gingerale to help with that as well.
I also used hot and cold packs where I ached, took long soaks in a warm tub, it dose wonders to relax the patient.
The staples like saltines and other mild crackers helps, also try brown rice, can use a bit of sugar or sugar substitute and a little cream.Was easy to eat and good for your digestion.That might be something your mom can try.try to steer away from to much butter or salt, it can make her stomach feel worse.Jello is also good to keep down.Try some fresh fruit as well something like apples or bannanas something not to acidy like pineapple.They will be good for her and in small doses be easy on her stomach.
Also try making serveral small meals a day to space it out, she might keep it down and be able to eat more in a day than she would trying to eat as much of a meal 3 xs a day.
also ask about phenagryn or comazine her doc might be able to put her on that for the nausea as well.
light stretching can also help, gets the circulation going and helps you feel better, massage is also good for this.Best thing for the diareha is Immodium AD usually works in one to 2 doses.
If I can think of more I will post again.Hope this helps.Let me know how she dose and stay strong, I am sending hugs and prayers your way.
You can msg me anytime if you have questions and I will do my best to answer for you.
Go to a natural foods health store and buy the purest pharmaceutical grade of Tea Tree oil available, it must be "Melaleuca Alternifolia Oil" because there are 300 types of tea trees. This is the most effective available and put several drops directly on the wound 3 times a day and it will kill the infection. This oil has been shown to be effective in treating MRSA. This is why we use it in our products. It should help...
