guadalcanal.baby has a spectacular aura about
a bit unclear on your problem. lack of money for out-of-pocket health care and your infection/s keeps coming back!

if you are in the U.S.A., however you acquired MRSA is responsible for your bill. let me phrase that another way. most people acquire this infection FROM BEING IN A HOSPITAL OR TREATMENT CLINIC.

MRSA stands for Methicillan Resistant Staph Aureaus. Penecillin was the first antibiotic to be developed and we are currently on the 5th generation since the prototype (penecillin). MRSA is prevalent in hospitals. can be carried on clothing, hard surfaces. You had to have a break in your skin to get it. now, you say you have to undergo 6 months of treatment. wow. that must have been some large wound to begin with and some heavy-duty exposure to the pathogen.

MRSA is extremely difficult to get rid of. If you really can pin this infection from visiting a hospital, go have a talk with the billing representative/social worker of that hospital. DEMAND that THEY PAY THE PRICE OF TREATMENT BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR HOSPITAL THAT GAVE IT TO YOU FROM THEIR EMPLOYEES NOT PRACTICING PROPER HYGIENE TECHNIQUE/S.

This is called a "hospital-acquired" infection. trust me. they will know what you are talking about.

Have you been tested for HIV? Is your immune system otherwise compromised?

It's hard to give advice when one does not have all the data.

hope this helps.
