MRSA will show up in blood cultures or when a sore is cultured. The doctor
should always do a culture/sensitivity test to determine which antibiotic
would best kill the infection.

First of all- how many of you are excessively skinny? I have been told by my
old physical therapist; that quads eventually go to one extreme or the other
(skinny or heavy). I have been lean my whole life (including prior injury); but
with years of atrophy I am just plain skinny.
Second- I

Thanks Eric- like I said, I have done the family doc thing for years also. I
was speaking to my old PT (who now is the head of PT, since my 17 year absence)
said they are now telling people to be seen annually. So I guess I'll see what
they have to say about my skinny-ass haha!

I'm about the same size as I was before my injury and I need to see the
doctor every year to stay in the system.

My weight goes up and down all the time. I'm 6ft3 inches tall, but on several

once with iv and once with pills. I've never had any symptoms - sores, etc. If
it is responsive to an antibiotic, I would treat it. My sister-in-law got a
