I think i have MRSA...

this cant be good, people have died from it.

but my finger hurst really bad and it has these weird bumps on it, and one is all infected.....

i web MD MRSA and it said:

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are a type of staphylococcus or "staph" bacteria that are resistant to many antibiotics. Staph bacteria, like other kinds of bacteria, normally live on your skin and in your nose, usually without causing problems. MRSA is different from other types of staph because it cannot be treated with certain antibiotics such as methicillin.
Staph bacteria only become a problem when they cause infection. For some people, especially those who are weak or ill, these infections can become serious

i've def been sick since the day before thanksgiving...

Given enough time, bacteria can outsmart antibiotics so that these medicines no longer work well. This is why MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria are sometimes called "super bugs."

Symptoms of a MRSA infection depend on where the infection is. If MRSA is causing an infection in a wound, that area of your skin may be red or tender

thats exactly how my finger is...and its all swollen and hurts really bad to touch and its very red.

Community-based MRSA commonly causes skin infections, such as boils, abscesses, or cellulitis. Often, people think they have been bitten by a spider or insect. Because MRSA infections can become serious in a short amount of time,

THAT SOUNDS LIKE ME!!

im scared!!! i should go to the doctor but i have to work, and i cant call off because i called off last week....ill just have to go tomorrow and be irritated in the mean time...

just pray i dont die.
