I have allergic reactions to ciprofloxacin and Levaquin so they can’t use that so they are using something called EDTA which is a solution that contains silver and something else that helps at it adhere to the sinuses
I’m just wondering if anyone else has been diagnosed with it and if they’re having like a neurological issues from it. I was in the hospital in 2014 and two weeks after that I started having tremors and facial freezing up and I’m still having those issues so now I’m wondering if I’ve had it all this time and it’s just now been diagnosed. I had several Endoscopy and yes I was in a nursing home environment when visiting my mother-in-law. I was just wondering if I picked it up somewhere visiting someone in the hospital also. We’ve had several family members in the past few years Ill and passing away so who knows. We are at that age with lost a lot of family because I’m 70 now and I’ve been ill since I’m 65. In fall of 2013 I got like a viral infection and dizziness and vertigo and sore throat and it’s just been crazy ever since. I did leave a voicemail for Dr. Falkinham
I sent him an email but of course I imagine he’s pretty busy I was just wondering if he had ever seen it causes neurological problems. Thank you for responding

Just wondering if you got my post about the pinkish/ peachy residue that I got on my shower head, sinks and toilets. I posted last night. I have lived in this condo for 19 years and contracted Mac about a year after I changed the water heater. I live in Cranston, RI. Once the water heater was changed the pink residue disappeared. I stay on the lookout for it as the plumber told me it was from the metals in the water that sink to the bottom of the water heater creating sludge. That means the water heater is ready to burst. I also have sinus problems but never got them checked. Too many other bigger issues to deal with. Mac, bronchiectasis, gerd, atrial fibrillation and fibromyalgia. All diagnosed.

I did hear from joe Frankinham
He thought it was more likely I had metholbacterium. Infection. If I spelled that right.
That sometimes the labs get them mixed up because they look the same in the culture both of these bacteria’s have a pinkish red when they grow so I called the lab and they said they did the DNA test on the bacteria and it was definitely Serratia Marcescens. He recommended I see an infectious disease doctors he gave the name of two that are located in Tyler Texas
Coincidently I saw a doctor yesterday and she also recommended an infectious disease doctor. And also my ENT called this morning and they recommended an infectious disease doctor. So I have an appointment Monday see what I can find out because I’m tired of being sick and in pain.
Thank you for your help
