Positive mrsa gutted !!!

Hey all as you no my appointment “should of” been 1 week today just had a dreaded phone call that the mrsa swab in my nose has come back positive op has been postponed until I have 3 negative swabs !!!

Ahh I had this so feel your pain! The treatment works though so as long as you stick to it you won’t have to wait too much longer! I searched google for tips to make sure it worked and there’s lots about changing towels etc so may be worth a look! Hope it works out for you! Xxx

Thank you how long did you have to postpone for?? I’m worried how it will ever go cause I work with the elderly in the community xx

Hi Donna,
It’s perfectly normal, some people just carry the bacteria and some people don’t.
I got the news on a Friday, got the medication on Saturday and was clear by the Monday. Waiting for the third swab to come back.
It definitely works so don’t lose faith 🙂 xxxx

I feel like crying my eyes out. How come u are up to the third swab already if u only found out Friday I’m sure the nurse said 1 a week 48 hours after treatment finished xx

Anybody else tested positive xx

They were pretty strict on the week apart thing, mine was put back 3 weeks but was worth as read a few horror stories of girls getting MRSA and having to have a second op to remove the implants and a third to get them back in! I also didn’t think it would go as I seem to catch everything and antibiotics never seem to work but they did! Honestly don’t worry about that! 🙂 xxx

Sorry Donna I didn’t explain myself very cleary…its quite hard on here you can’t really see the whole box as you’re typing!

I meant that I have been tested three weeks apart i’ve literally just had my third one this week and awaiting the results.
I found out one friday 3 weeks ago that i had the bug and I collected the medication that Saturday and had my first test on the Monday which cam back clear. What i mean to say is the medication is worth every penny it works straight away.

Honestly, its more normal than you think. It’s great they are so strict about it and so helpful in helping you get rid of it!
Give it a few weeks you will honestly be fine. i stopped worrying after the first test you’re doing what is necessary to keep yourself safe…just make sure you use the medication provided and you will be absolutely fine 🙂

@donnaxx – I have it too!! found out about an hour ago!!
i’ve been crying so much, i knew i’d get it though cause im also a carer in the community, plus work in a hospital as well as a student.
I don’t know how it’s ever gonna go? like what if im negative the first 2 times and then i catch it again on the last swab!
do you Pay for the treatment?

It’s gutting isn’t it I should of been in Tuesday coming I’ve got over it now..the treatment is different for everybody I’m a carer too but I’m using my cream and hoping for the bestxx

Yes absolutely devastating!! i’m gonna be so depressed on the day of my ‘surgery’ cause i’ll be sitting at home bored, thnking ‘id of had nice boobs by now’ but i will have to wait another 3 weeks after that..
Ah i’m glad youre over it, hopefully i’ll come to terms with it soon haha
do you do the swabs at home and send them off? or do you have t go into the gp every week?
hope yours clears !

I think I have to go into clinic and they do it and send them off was your in your nose?? Xx

Ohh I see, yes that must be what I’ll have to do
Yeah nose as well, seems to be the most common place

I’ve got antibiotics fucidin cream for nose and hibiscrub to wash with I’m gonna double glove at work and strap a litre of hang gel to my uniform we can do this.. new boobies we are coming for you

Thanks for telling me what you have, I had no idea what they provide you with haha , hopefully that gets rid of it
