    pseudomonas question

    So, despite searching on "pseudomonas" and "mucus color" in the forums and reading lots of past topics, and getting sad at seeing responses from people who have passed (but feeling grateful that their ideas and thoughts are still here), I still have a few questions. <br><br>Here's the...

    Swollen ankles

    It's sounds like a logical connection, though I agree ankles swelling is odd--usually a blood pressure/water retention thing. It sounds like you had a reaction and are maybe now having hypersensitivity/aftershocks like a coworker of mine kinda did. She had a severe reaction to iodine for an...
