In August 2010 I had PCP, which required Bactrim and Fluconazole to get rid of as I had a Mold and Yeast infection. Same as Cheri, I had fevers for a couple of weeks, lungs were clear to the doctor, only signs were an elevated heart rate and increasing weakness, started sweating a lot.

I had to have a bronchoscopy to find the bugs causing the problem, but got better quickly.

MDS can allow opportunistic infections in that we might not otherwise experience, we just have to be ready for them as they come.
