A member asked:

I was diagnosed with a mrsa infection about 2 months ago and find that i tire easily. are there long term effects of having mrsa?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your DR.: Mrsa is a type of bacteria, not a diagnosis. Was it a minor skin infection or pneumonia or something else? Was the infection cleared? There are many possible reasons for easy fatigue. Your dr will help you.
