Head problems

[Guest guest]

Tony, I didn't have any head problems from about 1998 until 2006. I

never had any sign of sinus infection except a massive sore throat

with swollen tonsils and enlarged lymph nodes and low grade fevers

the first year I was sick.

The reason I didn't have any head problems after that is because I

was 80 to 90% recovered on antibiotics. The few times I felt bad

seemed related to toxic mold exposure because I travel a lot and stay

in contaminated hotels - the only kind there is, it seems.

My husband and I both have staph colonization in our noses. Neither

of us seem to be sick with it. Many completely healthy people have

this. Does that mean it is a good thing to have? Could it activate

and make us sick? Yes. That might well be what happened to me a year

ago. I acted on the reality that I did have thrush at the time, but

who knows what else I had or have. I keep telling you there is no way

for folks like me to get accurate testing AND YOU KNOW THAT.

But how about the possibility that EBV is a PLAYER IN THIS INFECTIOUS

SOUP? You keep wanting to tell me I am overlooking the big bacterial

elephant up my nose. I keep telling you I am looking for hippos this

time. Why not?

Besides, I've taken just about every antibiotic there is and for long

periods of time. Why not try Valtrex?
