Okay yeah, let me clear some things up.
I posted on here the night before i went to the docter for the large bump. When i got to the ER they took one look and started to say "bug bite." I
quickly assured them this was no bug bite considering this was the 3rd time i had this thing, i don't live in the woods or near alot of crazy hungry
bugs in NYC.
I kept telling them it is MRSA and eventually they caved and did a test of the fluid that was inside the bump, came back positive for MRSA. So they
cut it open and squeezed out as much as they could, packed it with medical strips, gave me medication to kill it, one for the bump, and one for the
actual meat if you will of the illness. They also told me they were going to give me Perks for the pain. Which i was okay with considering perks is
a mild pain medication, since i have mild pain. But when i got my perscriptions filled i got 5-325 Mg Oxycodone, and that stuff is crazy strong. I
took one of them and i was gone! I couldn't eat anything, threw it up and i couldn't function. So will not be taking them any more and will just
stick to over the counter advil, ibuprofen all that stuff.
The nurse that did the actual cutting and packing of the bump kept a running conversation with me i guess to ease my pain by keeping me from thinking
about it. But this web site has taught me to ask questions about them and not answer questions about me, you dig? She told me how this is the 53 one
she has done this week! I got a gold star for the most fluid in mine(proudly ashamed). She said the City is haveing a huge spike in the amount of
people coming in for MRSA. Alot of people come in for bug bites and leave knowing it is MRSA. Thats odd to me because it isn't a easy contracted
illness. You need to share a razor or kiss someone with a cold sore, or open wound contact with the infected area. Which i now think they are not
giving MRSA the credit it deserves. I sure havn't kissed any cold sores, nore either of the other two that i am aware of. I think it is passing
between people in a much easier fashion, air borne or just "clean" contact.
So, if you begin to have a cold or flu, and a bump forms on your body that looks like a pimple, Do Not Squeez It! That is what triggers it to
inflame. Instead of the juicy inside squeezing out of your body, it is too deep under the skin and will spread out ward like a super caldera volcano
(I.E. yellow stone national park). Thus becoming this crazy painful bump that will eventually get the best of you. People all over are getting this,
3 friends of mine have now sent me a message via facebook to tell me they also have MRSA this week!!
I care about everyone here on ATS since we are the few in the world that have become "awake." Do not let this get out of hand and really look out
for the symptoms(spelling i know my bad)! The "Ground Crew" needs to be as healthy as possiable especially considering the 7th of october is 4 days
away.
I would also like to thank every one of you that have posted in here. Even the sarcastic individuals that have posted, for you guys keep us more or
less down to earth, and make the people in here that are genuinly interested in fixing the problem dig deeper and do more research to if not anything
but to prove you wrong, and all of that I benefit from. I would of sat on my ass with this just spreading to my organs if i hadn't posted on this
site.
So thank you very much.
And if there is any more information coming in about this illness spreading please post this here! I am very interested in this. We will be in
touch-
