The truth about MRSA

by Roy
(United States)

My name is Roy and I'm a carrier of MRSA, I usually get it in my nose, on July 4th 2010 I had, had MRSA in my nose and active for about 3 weeks prior and then on that day the sore on my leg got progressively worse until it was finally black and green, I have attached a picture of it after I got to the hospital and they cleaned it! I am also a diabetic (type 1) and because of having MRSA it ran my blood sugar up to 800 so I am currently hospitalized and being treated for it and the blood sugars. MRSA affects me often, the sores come at least twice a week but this is by far the worst of the MRSA that I've ever had! I've never had it affect my leg. It's such a struggle to go through MRSA and diabetes at the same time! The one thing I can tell people, once you see the sore start get help right away, don't wait! I waited and it's seriously affecting my body!
