WOW..that does sound interesting...

Other than the fatigue and the nodules, do you have some of those symptoms??

Also, that is so interesting about the water heaters...I didn't realize that they are set so they don't heat water hot enough.

Please let us know what the doctors say about this...when you call them, okay??

Well, well...

Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare Complex

MAI in pediatrics

You usually hear of this stuff in relation to AIDS (no offense, ZM!). Mycobacteria are stubborn little buggers that have a lipid coat around the cell wall that protects them from most antibiotics. Diseases associated with this genus include tuberculosis and leprosy, both quite resistant to treatment even under normal circumstances.

The good news is that there is treatment. Keep us posted, and God bless... ;-)

Hmmm. Maybe this is the answer to your case.
I don't want to go into details, but quickly put my water heater temp. back up after a few months of trying to "save energy." Definitely wasn't worth it.

Bery interesting and it would explain a lot in your case! Always remember doctors draw from experience and if they have never seen a specific case, they may not even know about it. My FIL had a fistula (a clump of blood vessels in his eye that were crazy, basically) the only reason he got it diagnosed was because the doctor in town had interned and seen one. Most eye doctors go through their entire careers never hearing about one, let alone seeing one. My FIL got very lucky.

This IS a very interesting article and definitely something to think about (hope for?).

In the meanwhile, I will continue praying for you.

This sounds promising. Think I'll turn up the ol' water heater now! You're in our family's prayers and on our church's prayer list. God bless you.

Wow, if this is what you have, that would be great not to have to have surgery. I'll continue praying for you - I sure hope you are able to get well soon.

This is interesting. TB can show up in spots other than lungs...I wonder about this.
