MRSA was found in my sputum

Posted by natalee_43 @natalee_43, Jul 8, 2019

Hello, I had recently had gotten my mucus tested because I would get a whole bunch of green mucus in the back of my throat that would be very thick. The test results came back with MRSA my doctor is putting me on antibiotics but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this or know what is happening in my body.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

Sue-
You have so many family health stories that probably have added to your broad medical knowledge and the wonderful information that you kindly pass on to others.
Hope they are all doing well, as I hope you are also.

Barbara, I have a huge family, many with complex health histories. With just my siblings and our direct descendants, there are 70 of us! And I have been blessed to maintain contact with probably 120 relatives throughout my life. Most of them are doing well even though managing many challenges. My Godmother and last surviving siblings to my Dad is about to turn 98 and lives in her own apartment with some support from my cousin. I hope to be just like her some day.

Sue-
Glad to hear many facts you share including: "Most of them are doing well even though managing many challenges."
Interestingly I just heard something that made me realize that I am the oldest living person on my Father's side and Mother's side. Was that ever a eye opener.
Hopefully, if I have all my senses working for me and I can do the work that we must do with BE for the next 16 years I can make it to your Godmother's age of 98 and able to take care of myself, by myself. I know it can be done and I believe I will, I have the will to do it!
Attitude, attitude and doing right by oneself.
If I begin having the slightest exacerbation I will probably start the antibiotics.
Barbara
