Can anyone tell me about results using Linezolid?
A little over 10 weeks ago, I went into the hospital for a simple "Minor" foot surgery and came home with MRSA. I managed to last and fight the pain until August 16th. I gave up and went into the hospital for antibiotic therapy even before they knew for sure that it was MRSA. I checked out of the Hospital August 25th, but, have not been without pain or swelling.
About 2 1/2 weeks ago, my Urologist ran a culture and she told me at the time that she believed that I was possibly someone who will never be free of MRSA, and that I will carry it for the rest of my life? I'm not happy with that opinion and so I have decided to look online for help.
I was on Vancomycin IV's and then on Batrim at home for 30 days. I always have Sarcoidosis and have had for about 3 years now, and am 65 years old. The hospital wants me to believe that I have "Community Acquired MRSA" But everything I have found so far says NO that and YES to if I were a teenaager or young to middle aged adult.
