When I was in the hospital (for gall bladder surgery), my roommate had a fungal lung infection (she lived on a farm),
Young woman, lost part of a lung and bone from a couple of ribs.
That stuff will really mess you up.
Yikes chunkyfrog, that's messed up! On a good note, I am on the mend big time. I had to switch from Levaquin to Doxycycline, because I was starting to have joint pain and nightmares/fragmented sleep. I am having no appreciable side effects from the doxycycline--perhaps a touch of heartburn shortly after I take it--and I'm feeling much better!

My 2 yr anniversary is right around the same time frame. Feels like forever but am so grateful to my machine!
