7th Staph Infection

I am now fighting my 7th Staph Infection and I am not a happy camper. My doctors are driven me crazy because all they ever use to treat it is Bactrim and it keeps coming back

i just got my seventh staph infection this month...and im scared on my side from the infections. im really depressed about it, i dont know what the hell to do. the antibiotics seem to just move the infection to another spot on my ribcage. i dont know what to do, anyone please help

@Woody72094 are you seeing the same doctor for this infection? What do they have you on?

[MrJason1123]

I know your video is old and I am glad that you have not had any more re-occuring staph infections. I just wanted to make a suggestion, if it ever comes back(and i hope it doesn't) mention the antibiotic called "Vanqomyacin" to your doctor.  I have had 18 staph infections including 5 that have left me hospitalized for up to a week. For me, they will not ever go away, the only thing that ever remotely work was the Vanq, that's what they call it in short. Stay in good health, and god bless...

Hey thanks very much for the advice. I am aware of the Vanq but I cant take it. I am allergic to it. I hope you are well and I certainly hope you dont get Staph again

I was seen within 30 minutes, my wound was drained and bandaged, I was prescribed with an arsenal of medication and referred to the local hospital's Infectious Diseases unit on Monday. All of that cost me $10.

Kengikat - you and all Americans deserve better. And that is why you elected President Obama. Now hopefully your people will be able to support him and the policies they elected him to implement.

God bless you Kengikat, my thoughts are with you!! Your friendly Canadian counterpart.

Thanks for the comments on a video that is over a year old. I am fine and the Staph has not come back. Thanks. Maybe you should get caught up on my videos. Obama is doing a great job, but this a country built by racists and with racist way and thinking. it will take a lot more then a Black man to correct the many things wrong with this nation

That is what free market healthcare delivers.

Look into Bacteriophage or phage therapy, it is known to have cured staph in some cases.

@Woody72094 You need to be on anti-biotics for 5-6 weeks, not 10 days. I had the same EXACT problem. It kept coming back, I've had MRSA surgery 3x. The very last time I had surgery, the Dr told me if I'm not on anti-biotics long enough to completely kill it, it WILL keep coming back.
