How can I end Nonstop Recurrent MRSA infections?

Posted by tommy22 @tommy22, Apr 6, 2022

Hello All,

I was first diagnosed and hospitalized in 2014 where I had 3 INDs and spent 3 weeks in the hospital with MRSA on my inner thighs. I was on at home IV antibiotics and it went away(except for a few flare ups) until 2018. After that it became more frequent for 2 years, roughly 6-8 per year. Since 2020, I have been on nonstop antibiotics (linezoid or doxycycline) and it has now been attacking my nose(nares) mostly.
I followed the nose creams and 2 weeks antibiotics prescription, but it would come back a week later after finishing each round. Now I just finished a 3 month run of doxy and have it again 2 weeks later.
I'm becoming exhausted and I have a people to care for and am always worried they will get this. I clean all the time and keep myself clean. Multivitamins, healthy food, etc. Also worried soon antibiotics won't work and it comes on so aggressive.
All the ID, primary, and dermatologists I've seen just keep doing the same thing and I'm getting worse.
I've looked into the studys on pulsing blue light, peroxide solutions, new drugs but I can't seem to get anyone interested, or has even read what I have.
Can someone help? Are there trials out there for something new? A different combination of drugs or new therapys?

Appreciate your time.

Anyone aware of recent trials regarding chronic MRSA skin infections? I’ve had 15 infections with and without antibiotic treatment. I mostly treat myself with warm compresses up to 3x/day and applying mupiricin ointment. I fear one of these times I will be dealing with a blood infection.
