I have been reading some of the threads about you guys who have battled infection, mainly MRSA. You guys have been through alot! My prayers are with you all. Maybe I'm not reading back far enough but my question is....what were your basic signs and symptoms? Can it always be detected with a nose swab? Thanks! Leah
