What Is The Procedural Treatment For MRSA?

Hi, I worked with an client who was diagnosed with MRSA and at that time I didn t know what MRSA was. So on my three day shift while giving him his meds, I started getting sick. I finally went to the doctor, and learned that I had it. Every since then, I ve been treated for it three times. I ve had blood work done to make sure that I wasn t diabetic. It came back that I wasn t. So my doctor told me that it will take time for it to clear completely out of my system. I don t have any insurance, and this has been a nightmare. I have it again, and I m tired of going to the doctor, paying out of pocket, just to get a prescription. They have been treating me with Sulfameth/Trimethoprim 800/160, Mupirocin and another stronger oral antibiotic. I already have the Mupirocin ointment and I ve been using it for the past 4 days. Like the past episodes, the Mupirocin isn t working alone. I m starting to feel sick. Instead of paying another high bill from my doctor, what kind of services can you offer and what are your rates. Thanks
