MRSA was found in my sputum

Hi I haven’t been on awhile but I was diagnosed with MRSA a year and a half ago. I am on bactrum/sulfameth for 14 days on and 14 days off
It’s not working for me.
We tried levaquin as well nothing is working. Thoracic surgeon reviewed CT and is not sure I’m a good candidate for surgery due to long term steroid use. Pulmonary hasn’t had a case like mine.
Has anyone had this issue?
Eventually the meds aren’t going to work for me
While I’m on them and a week or two after its manageable, but when I’m in need of meds it’s very difficult breathing and sputum is terrible.
I cough constantly and neb 4 times a day
Suggestions?
Joann

An Infectious Disease doctor? Systematic MRSA is very difficult to treat- my cousin required "big guns" -,sustained IV antibiotics.
