I am a 59 year old femalewho suffers from continous outbreaks of a staff condition called MRSA.(look up on google)  Unfortunately, I went to have my nails done 5 years ago and they used a dirty tool on me and they broke my skin. The nail tool was not clean and transferred MIRSA into my blood stream. It now is a problem because once MRSA enters your blood stream you are "cursed" for the rest of your life. I am colonized with this dreadful disease now and I am unable to have any surgeries because along with mrsa I have a mechanical valve in my heart. Gradually, your immune system becomes very fragile and you take various antibiotics. This too is very waring on the body
About six years ago, I felt very tired and I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Stenosis. I had surgery and they implanted a "St. Jude Mechanical Valve" in my heart. I am always ticking. And that is a good thing. Unfortunately, I am unable to have back surgery. I have 3 herniated discs. Titanium is not user friendly with a mitral valve and MRSA. No surgeon will operate onme. If I were to have surgery, there is an 80 per cent risk that I would die. The risk of MIRSA coming to visit is very high.
So I am almost done. I pray for all of you that are in pain. I am embarassed to even share my condition with all of you that have suffered from your loved ones diagnosis.I cry as I type this because it is a dark cold world. I put on a happy face for my family and for that I am eternally grateful.
In closing, I will pray for each and every one of you today and forever. Please help us raise awareness for the #1 staff strain in America called MRSA. Also. for the pain we have been given to endure. My ticking heart goes out to all of you.
Liz
