Watch in Realtime as I make $10k, or possibly (literally) DIE TRYING

Quote from gangof4:

you don't know me, i don't know you, but i wish you well.


my advice from being an advocate for my very sick sister is that YOU need to be proactive in your care- everything from asking questions about different drugs, to, if needbe, moving to another hospital which has more expertise with a situation such as yours. doctors/hospitals are not one to admit that something is a bit out of their league- even when it is.

just remember, it's your life and your future at stake. don't worry about pissing people off if there is reason to question your treatment. doctors aren't created equal any more than traders. you're obviously a smart guy and i'm not exactly breaking news with this post. just wanted to share my opinions based upon watching doctors who were in over their heads stumble along for 10 years until my sister finally got to a specialist who correctly diagnosed her (unfortunately too late to undo the damage that the disease has inflicted on her).

if it were me, i'd be making sure i've got the "A" team working on me...

good luck.

Great advice, gf.
 
Brandon, my very best wishes to you, sending you positive energy man. You are a remarkable person and truely a lesson to us all to live life to the fullest despite circumstances. Thank you for sharing this particularly timely wisdom, and by living it, your example inspires us. I am humbled by your strength and dignity.
 
Wish you the best. I had ongoing bouts with that stuff about 6-10 years ago. Finally, I saw an internal medicine doctor and he tried a combination of two drugs that seemed to get rid of it...after I did two cycles (it came back after the first). Apparently, it was a new, almost experimental treatment at the time.

My dad, who was spending a lot of time in the hospital, got MRSA around the same time and did the same 2-drug treatment. Afterwards, he was free from it for the last 5-6 years of his life (he passed away from a heart attack, but it was totally unrelated to MRSA/staph).

I wish I could remember what the two drugs were, but I'm sure some doctors know about them. Fortunately, I was in the military at the time and I didn't pay anything out-of-pocket for the drugs.
 
Hey Buddy,

You've got true grit kid. Ol' Rennick has you in the daily prayers now. Hurry up and get well. The whole damned world is falling apart and things haven't even started to get scary. Oppurtunity will arise and it takes smart guys like you to find them and blaze the trail. Fight on Mister, your best days lay ahead.

Rennick out:cool:
 
Brandon,

You and I go back a long way, maybe 8-9 years. You were an inspiration to me back then and even more so now.

Hang tough.

Allen
