Really, you successfully diagnosed yourself with MRSA as opposed to a methicillin-susceptible Staph infection? And how exactly did you do that? Non response to one antibiotic?
This is exactly the problem with people self treating. Without a proper workup, which in this case would have likely involved some sort of diagnostic microbiology, people end up over- or mistreating themselves.
I was able to recognize the symptoms based on my previous experience and some reading. I had it previously and the doctor was able to diagnose it on sight. No testing was required.
