Thanks Eric although I'm not so sure that a wound care spray going directly into the bladder would help. I remember when I was living with my sister trying something that lots of quads irrigated their bladder with (for the life of me I can't remember the name now) and I wanted to try it but I had to have a home health aide do it for me since my sister wouldn't. I guess my sister was right because after I did try it I got blood back in my urine so I stopped it.
I just got the latest final culture reports from urine specimen taken in last Thursday. This time is not MRSA alone but what I have gotten in my lab results many many times which are (below) so last time nothing was listed as sensitive to what was in there alone (MRSA) but this time the same drugs are listed as sensitive (that is what the S stands for). I am allergic to any Sulfa drugs so I can't take down but I have been taking Nitrofurantoin multiple times in the past which gets rid of the symptoms temporarily. The symptoms always come back after a catheter change even though my catheter changes are as sterile as can be with a wide prep area of Betadine and everything else sterile. I have had nothing but trouble ever since being forced to have that bladder neck closure after that nurse stretched my urethra beyond repair and now having a suprapubic catheter. I never wanted a suprapubic catheter even though others swear by it. It is more maintenance but that would not be so bad if the hospital that I went to did not give me Staphylococcal aeurus (MRSA) to begin with a little over two years ago. It is stubborn and especially with a catheter but I can't go without a catheter. Just 5 months after that surgery a polyp was showing up on my bladder wall and when they send it out for biopsy it came back as superficial bladder cancer so that was removed and thankfully has not come back. That, among other things, has me just falling apart. When I was in the hospital last year for 3 weeks the Enterococcus faecalis and/or Streptococcus began showing up in my culture reports. Hospitals and nursing homes are breeding grounds for these superbugs and I became the victim of them. *Enterococcus faecalis 10,000 - 50,000 CFU/mL* *Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA-methicillin-R) <10,000 CFU/mL* Susceptibility: E. faecalis Ampicillin S <2 Ciprofloxacin - S 1 Levofloxacin - S 1 Nitrofurantoin - S <16 Staph. (MRSA) Tetracycline - S <1 Gentamicin - S <0.5 Trimetho/Sulfa - S <10 Vancomycin - S 1 On Mon, Apr 22, 2019 at 1:33 PM Eric Olson <[email protected]> wrote: > You can buy it on Amazon but this place is the cheapest I've found > > https://expressvet.pharmacy/product/vetericyn-vf-plus-wound-and-skin-care/ > > I have ordered from them in the past > > On Mon, Apr 22, 2019 at 1:52 PM Lori Michaelson <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> I'm definitely not going to the hospital or a hospital since that is >> where I got it but I thank you Dana for replying. >> >> Eric... where do you get Veteracin vf?
