spine and inflammation: Tony more questions

[Guest guest]

--Tony,

Are you saying that these things like the formania encroachment that

my MRI showed is osteomyelitis?

When I had the nasal culture it was because I wanted to train to be

a surgical technican and back then the hospital required nose and

throat cultures.

I was not sick. After two nasal cultures that were positive they

told me I was a carrier. I could not train for that after two tests

were came back positive.

I had not been sick.

The life that I enjoy if I were not feeling so bad is to be around

horses.

When you brush a horse anything they have laid in you are getting up

your nose.

I have been in old barns with lots of bird droppings and dust from

hay.

How are we to live in a world with things all around us that are

either fungus or bacteria?
