Well, we now know what to look for, as you do too, and next time (if that happens God forbid) will catch it much earlier on.

See post 10 about massage helping, and I posted somewhere that ice packs helped mr. mm a lot.

I learned a lot about them during that MRSA infection. When I was admitted for that, they couldn’t/wouldn’t give me anything worthwhile for the pain as it all suppresses blood pressure, which was already dangerously low. MRSA has a burning searing pain that I imagined must have been small taste of hell. Ice packs worked wonders and I’ve come to the conclusion that they are a vastly underrated and underutilized treatment for pain.

If they can help against MRSA and shingles, it WORKS.
