Just curious.

Yes, this is an old thread! I'm early in recovery.....but over the past 90 days I've experienced an unusual number of infections and they seem to be treatment-resistant. This hasn't happened to me before. I eat well and take vitamins. I do have symptoms that some would identify as PAWS. It just seems very strange this is happening now....
