I was in ICU last December for two weeks with I very serious lung infection that required antibiotics into my bloodstream with a pic line and with incubation and feeding tubes. The doctors told me they could not tell if the infection began in my lungs or my bladder. I now have to use a bipap machine when I sleep. Still don't know if it was related my TM but my guess is the TM has compromised my entire immune system. I had an entire regiment of specialist including pulmonologist, neurologist, internist, radiologist, gastroenterologist, and probably others that I forgot. Anyway I was a pretty sick guy but they got me fixed......Cody in Austin
