I had necrotic muscle in my legs for 2 years (started out as a side effect of

injectable fertility drugs, injectable meds to keep me pregnant and benadryl to

keep me alive due to my allergies) but when my daughter was about 9 months old

the damage came to the surface and

I had MRSA cellulitis for close to 2 years in my thighs until I gave in and had

all my teeth pulled. due to steroids they were rotting one by one and harboring

the infection in my mouth in between times they would get it out of my legs.

Within a month of having them pulled the infection was gone. And I could

finally heal enough to have skin grafts. So I was without teeth from October

2005 to June 2006.

So long story, I understand!

Good Grief Anne!

That sounds positively horrible! MRSA scares the dickens out of me!

Thankfully you got a lovely little girl out of the deal.

That's worth a lot.

I had uterine cancer when I was pregnant with my second child. The

specialists all wanted me to abort the baby, but my General Practitioner

said " Go with what your gut is telling you. " So, I did.

We had a rough go of it and just about didn't make it. But that little

boy is now 6'4 " and all grown up with a family of his own. I still have

problems from that era, but I wouldn't trade my son for anything.

I am permanently MRSA but hey I always get a private room in the hospital now. I

have had it in my muscles, tissue, sinuses, bloodstream, and IV lines now (I

have a surgically implanted port-a-cath now). My Mom is permanently MRSA now too

she started out with it in her spinal fluid, then her blood, lungs, etc.

And unfortunately since my daughter had tubes put in (age 5), her next 2 ear

infections were MRSA thanks to the idiot that did her surgery. It took the U of

M and some pretty nasty drugs and going everyday to have her ears suctioned out

for a week to get rid of it so she is considered negative now but it will follow

her forever.
