Guys, after two months of fighting what I thought was just a bout of acne, I've been diagnosed with a MRSA staph infection. It looks like super bad acne.
My thoughts are that I came into contact with it by using the gym supplied towels to wipe my face during work outs.
Just giving you all a heads up to be careful with gym towels/equipment.
MRSA is treated with strong antibiotics....not typical ones.....
THROUGHLY wash hands before leaving the gym...and not just a quick wash...i'm talking about a min with a good lather....this bacterial is going around

When I was a kid, I had a Great Dane with staph infection. I always figured she got it at the gym.

brutal idiocy, some people always have to learn the hard way.

You should not assume that other people do what you do in the locker room.
Some people on here can actually pay their gym fee from their job.

thanks...the anti's need to be run for over a month....if it gets worse i need hospitalization....kinda sucks..but thanks Playboy

People amaze me....they'll piss, shit, sweat, and won't bother to EVEN flush the toilet, or wipe down the equipment. Do you really think they would take a good minute to properly wash their hands?
Most people have zero regard for others.....
-
definitely
i've noticed most don't wash there hands when leaving the gym either....
I really assumed that the gyms disinfect the towels they hand out my washing them...so much for assumptions

I don't trust gym towels.
I always bring my own. I doubt they bleach theirs.

Word. I sold antibiotics for 4 years and have seen some of the nastiest MRSA infections you'd never want to see!
Bring your own towel and if your skin's gonna touch a piece of equipment, wipe it down first!
That shit is no joke.

I don't used the gyms towels or wash my hands when leaving the gym ether. I go straight home and take a shower tho.

Triple H---what was a common one to clear MRSA? I've been given Bactrim

The MRSA you speak of is for real. Good luck with your treatment and thanks for the reminder.

dude, showering it necessary, but so is washing your hands prior to leaving. Think about all the equipment you've used and now your going to infect your car, home , etc....

Triple H---what was a common one to clear MRSA? I've been given Bactrim
I sold Levaquin, it was approved for Methicillin susceptible staph aureus. Since MRSA is Meth-resistant, there are few that do the job.
Vancomycin and teicoplanin are glycopeptide antibiotics used to treat MRSA infections, but the Doc may have chosen Bactrim because it is an older drug, not used my as many docs. What happens the longer a drug (particularly an antibiotic) is in play, the more resistance develops within the general community. An older drug like Bactrim can become more "potent" after it's been out of circulation for a while.
I had some urollogists that would use it as a first line, saving "stronger" drugs like quinolones.
Vancomycin is kind of the "last resort" drug. You know, the "he's about to go meet Jesus" drug!
So there are others that will work, but you have the right thing for your severity of condition. That matches the treatment protocols to which I was privy. Besides, the doc wants to save the Big Gun for somebody with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel!

makes sense....thanks for the info
i really hope ppl read this thread and take it seriously. Overuse of antibiotics by some ppl affects all!
-
That is why the Microbiology Department at my university insisted on putting a liquid dispenser outside of our gym entrance that had a high quality hand sanitizer where you would use it before you go in. We found there to be ALOT of strains that were resistant on some of the equipment.

I've trained perhaps 5,000 - 6,000 times in my life, in many different gyms and I've never, not even once, washed my hands when leaving the gym.
Anyhoo... antibiotics work, you'll be fine.
-
hope you feel better man.
this is the second time I"ve ever heard of staph infections.

Speaking from experience eh Semeneater?
-
I never wipe down machines or wash my hands after a workout. I've managed to 15 years in gyms without contracting anything. ;)
Face it, people these days are just pussies. My favorite, the handy wipes for your shopping cart at the supermarket. ;D Holy shit, our country is full of queers.
Let's legalize gay marriage, ban smoking everywhere, and up the handy wipes in supermarkets. ;D Gotta love it. No wonder so many countries hate us.
-
some other countries already have gay marriage Crotchity. BUt I do agree that Americans are full of fear and the nightly news is much to blame. The gay marriage thing wont happen because of fears as well. Every one is scared...look at 240, he is advocating everyone keeping a gun in their house in case of an intruder.

The nightly news, utter waste of airtime. People love to see horrid shit, but they act empathetic towards it. Murders, rapes, tragedy. The more horrific, the better the ratings...haha

Oh you work out at the YMCA too? My YMCA is pretty much gay central. I really like the gym though so I ignore the men staring at me... :S
-
I know I sound like a broken record.
IMO everyone should wash their hands before(and after), ESPECIALLY men.
Let’s take your average day. You go about your business touching all sorts of incredibly filthy and germy things ~ door handles, shopping cart handles, the pump at the gas station, etc. You go to the gym. You handle all those germy weights; the ones everyone else has touched with their dirty hands that they’ve sneezed and coughed in and Lord knows what else. Your workout is over. You go to the locker room. Next thing you know you’re wrapping your dirty, filthy, germy hand around your little pee-pee. YUCK! :-X
And I’m the weird one. :-\

That's SUCKS!!! SOrry to hear that man. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
And you probably thought you had to cut back on your test ;D

This MRSA is scary stuff. I've been going to the gym for over 20 years and never had a problem until last June when what I thought was a pimple on my elbow turned into a large red painful mess. Two days later I had a faint red stripe running up my inner arm between the bicep and triceps. On the fourth day I finally saw the doc who was not to keen on touching the sore spot, for good reason too, turned out to be MRSA.
He put me on three orals, one nasal, and one intravenous (sp?) antibiotic, which he said my insurer would not like. Two hours for 5 days of an intravenous drip and no work and no physical contact with my wife and son. Thank god they didn't get it.
I now wash on work out days with an antibiotic soap, up the nose too as one doc said I could be colonizer(sp?) I also wipe down every piece of equipment before using. -By the way, for some reason the leg extension equipment is always the dirtiest. -
Now I'm just assuming I came in contact with MRSA at the gym since I know of doctors and nurses who workout there, but I think it's a pretty safe assumption. MRSA seems to show up more often at the doctors office, which I was not around at the time.
Good luck overcoming this crap!
-
Yeah, it's no joke. I find it naive and mildly arrogant to those that come on here with the attitude that they don't need to wash. Well to those: Yes, you may not have ever contracted MRSA or the like, BUT, for the simple fact you DON"T wash makes you a f'ing carrier and spreader of the bacteria. Think about others for a change

Holy cow - worse than any horror-movie!
How can this happen -> looks like someone drilled holes into him?

yes I have actually banned the local nightly news from my house. I wont watch it, not only because the production values are assaulting and the car commercials are painful, I cant listen to a show created by condescending ivy league assholes manipulating the 'lowly' middle class and working class, rehashing the same old stories about 'teens having sex', 'steroids', 'cures for cancer', 'things that cause cancer', 'child molesters in our neighborhoods', 'schools are failing' "germs are everywhere' and overall doom and gloom stories that they feed to the "lower classes" to keep them glued to the tube and in the stores buying crap. Even the anchors are condescending talking about how bad the traffic and how gloomy the economy is when they are getting driven home in black cars every night.
edit: forget to mention their parade of black street criminals in front of the cameras while white collar criminals get protected.

it's a good idea for ANYONE who trains in a gym to carry some Germ X or Purell hand sanitizer with them for when they get done training, keep it in your car or bag.
