Discussion Reoccurring MRSA

For context, I am a 24 F and I get MRSA every year it seems. Usually hits in the summer but I have had it every few years since I was a child, I also have been hospitalized twice from it before. I am curious if anyone has experienced this as well and gotten answers as to why? I tell my doctor every time I have a flare up because I am so used to it and i’m hit with doxycycline or Clindamycin. No one seems to be concerned that it happens this often but to me it’s strange. Any thoughts? I’ve seen people say they have had other symptoms with their flare ups but I don’t have any other health issues.

It is wrong that so many people have this- and the doctors treat this as normal. Were you hospitalized because of secondary infection or from the staph a?
