Hi Natalee. I am glad that members who have personally experienced having MRSA have responded to you. I have never had it. That had to be scary getting that news. Jan said she had it and it was easily treatable for her. I hope the same holds true for you. All of us respond differently to these various bugs and the treatments. For example: my pseudomonas was gone in 30 days, but for Jan and a few other people, the battle is on-going. I am glad that you found this group, and I hope that you take the time to read over past posts and also scroll thru the topics on our discussion board. Please keep me posted on your progress in fighting the mrsa. I will be sending healing thoughts your way. Are you nebulizing with 7% saline by any chance?

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?
