I have MRSA in my throat. I am 14. I have been in numerous emergency rooms and have been hospitalized for weeks at a time. I have had it for one month today. I began noticing I had a problem with a sore throat, an unbearable headache, and I was always tired. Later I noticed that my lymph nodes on the left side of my neck were swelling out of control. They grew past my ear and wrapped around the back side of my head. The doctors had no clue what I had at first. When I first went into my first E.R visit I was greeted with a lumbar puncture. ( they were thinking of spinal meningitious.) I was also examined with multiple CT scans of my head & neck tissue. Nothing abnormal was found. They admitted me, & put me in a room. The next Morning I was transported to a different hospital who specialized in my type of illness. I was there for a week. I was terrified while there. I had doctors saying I possibly had lymphoma. And some saying I had an infection. Finally a puss pocket formed in my lymph node. But surgeons unable to preform surgery because the puss pocket was on both my carotid & jugular artery. They said it would be too big of a risk to drain it. But I am home now. Still very sore & swollen but I am getting sick again and having to go back to that hospital tomorrow morning. So PLEASE if you suspect you have this, go to the HOSPITAL now! ( a regular physician can do absolutely nothing for you! This is a highly life threatening illness even when being treated! Please, be careful.
