I am amazed at how we are so much alike. ...Cathy,<br /><br />I am amazed at how we are so much alike. I too work in healthcare. I come home and strip my scrubs off and jump in the shower immediately. No one can touch me. <br /><br />Like you I too have a bottle of purell with me everywhere I go. If I can't find it in my purse because it is buried underneath something I almost have a panic attack! Not fun! I have Rheumatoid arthritis which causes me to have a supressed immune system. But why back 10 years ago did I not have concerns about germs? How can it just start over time? <br /><br />My hands are so dry and cracked it isn't funny! Being a germaphobe has changed my life. I have an 18month old son and it has gradually gotten worse since I had him. Because now I worry about him being exposed. But in the back of my mind I know that him not being exposed is bad too! YIKES!! <br /><br />I worry most about bringing home MRSA from work or places that I have been (i.e. grocery store carts, dr.'s appts, etc) I used to love to go shopping now it is a chore to get there. <br /><br />Well thanks for listening to my story. I just couldn't believe how similar our stories were. If you get this message because I see you posted it back in July 09 let me know how you are doing and if you have found anything to help you?

I walk through the door, peel them off and dump them in the laundry bag ... which of course is a different one than where my regular clothes go.Cathy Buetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176782992604138092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793897300409606482.post-48827348836814193182009-07-17T10:04:15.552-07:002009-07-17T10:04:15.552-07:00Total germaphobe and proud of it.

Also, if you want something else to be paranoid about, I read an article a while back about how wearing scrubs outside of the hospital is contributing to the spread of germs to the general population.Kairol Rosenthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14176295815173905314noreply@blogger.com
