@baunch What a frightening, ongoing experience with this infection! So you’ve been dealing with this for 18 months already? Apparently this is quite the medical mystery. I wonder if you could try Mayo Clinic again after it has been quite a few months since you contacted them. At the original contact it may have been such that the triage team felt that your local team would be able to clear this. Did your local doctor send a referral? That can often make a difference.

I’m not sure what VIKOR is so I did a quick search to see that they are an independent research lab doing targeted molecular diagnostics. If not Mayo, then I hope you find answers to this ordeal you’re going through!

I have to ask, do you still garden?
