Personal MRSA Stories

Here you will find personal stories of experience with infection, written by MRSA patients and their loved ones. If you are interested in having your story published here, email . You need not provide any identifying information if you do not want to, and all copyrights will of course remain yours. I cannot tell you how many people have told me that this is very helpful to them to be able to read these stories, I hope you will consider having yours, or a link to yours, here as well. Also, if you are interested in keeping a blog about your MRSA experience, or just your daily life while living with MRSA or another Superbug, please email me as well, I would love to talk about hosting it for you.
