Hi, I tuned in to Terry Gross about 25 minutes into the interview. I hadn't heard of your book or website. Just ordered the book and I'm thrilled to have more information. My husband has had 4 periods of infection since 6/2008. The last was on his face & he landed in the hospital on IV antibiotics, and home on them for several days as well. On 2 of these periods, he had 4 infected areas incised.
We have been so desperate for more information. Every doctor tells us a different thing. One thing we've noticed is every period infection was preceded by a period of high stress.
Thanks for your research and getting the word out.

I heard the feature on NPR. I have been fighting MRSA for over 3 yrs. now. I have a community strain. Don't know how I contracted it. I don't wish this on anyone. It is very painful. My infectious disease doctor can usually keep it under control with Sulfameth, but sometimes must resort to Xyvox. Thank you for writing this book. I will be recommending it.
