Hi Rita. Do you plan on getting tested for pseudomonas soon? Also, may I ask what state you live in?

Terri, I was clear of pseudomonas last summer but it showed up again in June of this year in a crazy way.

Staph and candida showed up in my April sample, nothing else. The doctor decided not to treat

In June, pseudomonas but nothing else showed up.

But, I didn't send a sample in June! My doctor and I figured out that fed ex must have found the sample they lost in April and delivered it and the lab ran it. They couldn't have known that it was 2 months old.

The bottom line is that the pseudomonas showed up in June in a sample sent in April but did not in another one sent a week or two later. So strange. Have to laugh!

We were going to see if it showed up in the next sample but I sent it 3 weeks ago and they haven't received it. The lab was supposed to send more kits but they haven't arrived. I need to contact my doctor and have her arrange for them to be sent again. Sigh

I live in Chicago. Illinois. How about you,?Where do you and Minnie live,?
