re Jude... My mom had open heart surgery last year and ended up with an MRSA infection that attacked the bone (which is called osteomyeltis btw), she had 2 courses of vancomycin, and then 3 rounds of oral meds b/c there was one pocket that was still filling up with pus and whatnot. MRSA is quite common and i's getting nastier. I am currently a 3rd year nursing student (graduate in 6 weeks) and work on a Cardiac Surgery & Neurosurgery floor and we get many patients' with MRSA infections after. It's not fun. I wish Jude well. Marieke (TM @ T1 since March 18th, 2004)

I know you are scared. All of us that have had relapses were scared too. But the sooner you see the Dr. the better. Let us know how you are doing, ok! And just so you know I have had times where my symptoms increased and it was a relapses and times when it wasn't. So it is really hard to tell.

After more than 10 years I started having new symptoms in my left (the good one) leg. My left leg has always had pins & needles…but this weekend I had the burning (freezing) sensation and although it has not gotten worse..it has not gone back to what I call normal. I have e mailed Dr. Kerr and hopefully he will supply some in sight. I also want to thank members on the list who have given me names of Nerros in New Jersey that they use and are happy with…I will contact at least one of them. In all honesty I am somewhat afraid! I thought I have been dealing with TM in as positive way as is possible. I just don't know if I could handle another episode especially if It requires hospitalization. I know all of us do not have one day that is exactly the same as the previous one…but have any of you experienced new feelings (good or bad) that was not a result of a relapse? If this continues I doubt if I can continue working as the discomfort does not allow me to concentrate on my work. I can only focus on the new feeling of burning! Thank you for any insight you can provide. Rob in New Jersey OMG, Sweet deal for Yahoo! users/friends: Get A Month of Blockbuster Total Access, No Cost.

I just got off the phone with Jude.....can't add much to what Pam has already told us..... they have her on Vancomycin which is "the" antibiotic for MRSA along with seven other antibiotics. They will do a six week course and then take a break and then another six week course of the antibiotics. The infection is in the bone and blood stream. She told me if this doesn't work and it turns septic then it's "bye-bye." Jude knows what's waiting for her on the other side if that happens so she is really handling all of this well. She was cheerful with me....even got her to laugh once. :-) She started getting sleepy so I let her go with the promise I would call in a few days. Dave is retired as of today and they are both happy about that.....Jude is planning on spending some quality time with him now. Please keep those cards, letters, etc. heading her way....they mean so much to her.... but especially keep lifting her in prayer. Love to all, Lynn Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.

I've never heard of Central Neuropathy Syndrome. Electrocution is something I've always tried to steer clear of. I worked for my local electric company, installing electrical equipment for 25 years.
