MRSA Notes

I am so proud and happy to bring my MRSA news out from the dark back alleys of MRSAResources to b5media, where we have the most wonderful science and health channel growing and blooming!

I am not a doctor, scientist, or anything of the sort, but I have lots of personal experience with MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus). My beloved husband nearly died in October 2004 of an antibiotic resistant Staph infection that had infected the epidural space of his spine, and subsequently his bloodstream and most of his internal organs. You can read his story in PDF format here. I had an awful time finding information about MRSA when I needed it, and that led me to create MRSAResources as an information and support resource for others that were in my same position just as soon as Marshall no longer needed minute-by-minute care. I am thrilled to be able to say he recovered, but it has been quite a journey and I still live in fear every day that the infection will begin to thrive again.

Here at MRSA Notes, as I have done in the past, I will mostly cover the MRSA news in the United States, but please be aware that MRSA is a worldwide problem. MRSA used to be only found in hospitals and health care facilities, but now we are plagued with many strains of community acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) that have had some horrifying effects on seemingly perfectly healthy people, both young and old. I hope you never need to know this information, but if you do, I hope you will find it here with me, at MRSA Notes! Please stay around here and talk about the news with me, and if you need some more personal help and support with your infection, please join me at the MRSA forum, where there are lots of people going through the same things you are and are so happy to talk about it and help support you when you need it!
