MRSA success stories… anyone care to share?
Hello.
I would love to hear some MRSA deep tissue infection/surgery related success stories, if anyone cares to share. I am going through this hell right now. Post knee surgery related. I need some positivity!
Thanks !

May 2014. Admitted for bacterial meningitis of my brain. Access in left temporal lobe. Organisms were MRSA and pseudomonas. From chronic sinusitis. Craniotomy done to remove access. In medically induced coma intubated septic multi organ failure. I was coded. Gone. MRSA as far as my sinuses has never returned. Use neil med sinus rinse with 1/4 teaspoon of vinegar 2- 3 times daily. Had 5 years of allergy injections and care by allergist- immunologist. I have only taken 1 round of an antibiotic since. In 2020. For a UTI. Their is serious AMR. Antimicrobial resistance. I am afraid we have been in the post antibiotic era for a very long time. I havd used a hepa air purifier since the fall of 2014. I filter my drinking water. I use a hepa vacuum. Since fall of 2014. I can go into more of my medical treatment and life style changes but it was extensive.
I got osteomyelitis from a foot sore and it was in my blood into my brain lost my job and had to have my surgery amputated toes and now they want to amputate my left leg to knee and irs a constant fight with surgeon...
Please help
Did you have any metal added? I have the same for my hip in 2019. I still have it. Dr. said when it is attached to metal it will never go away.
Has anyone mentioned Phage therapy? It is being practiced in Poland and has had some success.
I was infected on 2019 and my ID Doctor has been able to suppress it with various antibiotics until last year when I had to be hospitalize for 13 days. He beat it back again until March of this year, when again it resurfaced. I am presently fighting drainage from the infection while it has seemed to improved. They say I have went through the gambit of antibiotics. I have been told that the only way it can be dismissed is to have another operation with complete debridement over a period of up to 6 months with little or no mobility and a 50-50 success rate. I in a box right now.
no implants of any type anywhere in my body, which is a plus
no metal or any implants anywhere
Fifteen years ago I had debridements on my foot and wrist, then a slew of antibiotics. The MRSA infections came back elsewhere on my body. After some online research, I found a useful MRSA site developed by a microbiologist. (Google: Michele Moore staph infection resources). I bought her book (under the 'treatment' heading), followed the protocols, and found myself MRSA-free after a month or two.
