I got it a year ago when I was bit by a brown recluse spider. I was treated with iv antibiotics for two weeks. My immune system is awful now. I get sick all the time. Does it stay in your system?

My doctor says that I'm resistant to normal antibiotics now. I am also a diabetic.

MRSA infections are usually misdiagnosed as spider bites.
The strong antibiotics you had to have to treat the infection could have done some damage to the beneficial bacterias in your body as well. Talk to your doctor about how you are feeling now, have them do tests, and try a probiotic diet for a while to see how you feel after that.

My mom got a staph infection in the early 80's from a mosquito bite then swimming in the ocean. The Dr put her on an antibiotic that feed the staph, the staph at a small hole in her leg (sight of infection). After a new antibiotic she got better. The main infection went away. Staph is never really gone or cured, years later mom ended up with a ugly skin rash over her face and arms. Turned out it was an infection due to the staph that stays in the body for life.

MRSA does not make your immune system bad, you probably got it in a hospital. Many physicians believe once infected, the patients carry it in the nostrils for life. You could ask your doctor if you should be evaluated for a carrier state and if found, if it should be eradicated. Feel free to email me with anymore questions

MRSA is normally not completely destroyed in your body. However it should not effect your immune system or how often you get sick, except for getting another staph infection.

Vancomycin and teicoplanin are glycopeptide antibiotics used to treat MRSA infections. Please see the webpage for more details on MRSA.
