Anyone dealt with Mrsa and immunosuppressants? My mother has been in an inpatient pulmonary rehab program after recovering from heart surgery back in March. It's been a long road for the past 7months but she was just about to come home this week but had a small issue that we decided it was best to have it looked at in the ER since she's been through so much. They decided to keep her for observation for a few days but did a routine test for MRSA since she had been in the rehab facility as a precaution. It came back this morning that she is a carrier and she's basically being treated like she has the plague:(. I visit her absolutely every day, we are in close contact, I do all her laundry, etc. I am freaked out for both her because she has so many health problems and there are no antibiotics to treat it according to the doctor she spoke to, and myself because I don't know how my body would deal with it given the meds I'm on. Maybe I'm over reacting, I don't know. Any insight would be super appreciated!
