MRSA Support Group

I'm a brand new MRSA positive person. Not sure what else to say been scared to hear that since Sunday. Now im shocked even though I knew it could be for 3 days now.

If anyone one has some uplifting words they would be welcome.

Hello Marvilla welcome to our MRSA group. We are glad to have you here with us. As for the MRSA there is all different kinds and are you sure it is MRSA?

Have they did a culture on you and showed it to you? Where is your MRSA at? Of course having the right doctor that knows how to treat it. Which is usually an ID doctor. I look forward to getting to know you and of course this is shocking news on anyone. All of us here knows how you feel. We all deal with it in one form or another. Me I have it in my lungs and on my skin. I have had it pretty much all over me. My name is Viv and it is nice to meet you. Many blessings to you.

Hi Mverilla,

WE have all had that day unfortunatly but on the other hand we have this, we share and cry and yell and we all understant. Heck I was told while they signed my discharge papers from the hospital. Aint tht a kick in the ole bumm eh? ALl of us form what we call our chosen Family.We help one another out and over the bumpy road and hold out our hands for somene that needs help. WE are there!!. All you have to do is come here and write, share your emotion if you wish and not have to worrie about someone getting mad. Cause we all have lived and are living it each and every day. SO who better to share hen your Chosen Family?

PLease do keep us up on your endivors and treatments and any questions Please ask. We are not Doctors nor diagnostitions. We are people that live and try to function in a world that is scared to death due to misunderstandings.

Hi: Mvarilla. My name is Rainy, aka Jerri. I found out in 2009 that I tested positive for MRSA. I don't know what I would do somedays without this outlet I have found here. I too am very scared every day but I am learning to NOT let this damn MRSA thing rule my life. Although it seems to despite my best efforts. When I first joined here, one of the people told me to get my lab reports, and the copies of the culture and sensitivity reports. I did I am very glad I did. Ask questions of your dr. I welcome you as well - we understand each other here and we can rant rave bitch moan and groan and whine and yell and cry about our feelings about what we are dealing with here. Welcome again
