I have a sore that my Dr. tested and it's a MRSA staph infection. This past week, I have been very sick with chills and vomiting. I can not sleep because I have this awful skin crawling sensation. All my vitals are normal and I'm otherwise a healthy 33 year old. They did blood work and everything came back okay. I can not go on like this anymore. Should I go to the hospital? Is it the MRSA that's making me so ill? I'm on antibiotics.

Go back to your doctor.
You are allergic to your antibiotics.
I have had MRSA before, and I didn't experience anything like that with the infection and my course of meds (3 pills a day for 4 weeks and an injection every 12 hours).
But, I have had those symptoms when taking other antibiotics (prophylactic treatment based on whooping cough exposure).
Worst feeling ever, exactly what you are describing. Turns out, I was allergic to the antibiotics.
Go back. Go now.
Wow... who gave me a thumbs down?

i'm a dentist. you're able to desire to be having a reaction to the Septra (probably prevalent as Bactrim). Are you allergic to sulfa drugs? Allergic to the different drugs? it fairly is available, so a approaches as i know, for MRSA to grow to be systemic, and actually fever and chills are important (yet is additionally brought about via allergic reaction--lower back, so a approaches as i know). of course, in the adventure that your blood artwork replaced into commonly used, then i may well be extra susceptible to think of that your warning signs are touching directly to the drugs. There are actually different antibiotics that is used to handle MRSA. Rifampin, as an occasion.

MRSA can make you ill. If were afebrile, or your WBC (white count were normal) and do at least 2 blood cultures at the height of any fever or chills. If all negative, have a urine culture as well. See your doctor

It can kill someone with a weakened immune system, such as a post op patient. Very few antibiotics work on this infection - make sure you take the course exactly as instructed.
