.Pseudomonas can occur in various parts of the body including the blood.
Hello Meg, it's been Ali you must have been so scared , it's good you are home now and I hope you are feeling better.

Actually Meg, by reading your post I feel a lot better just knowing that someone else has had it, I hope that doesn't sound strange. Thank you very much for replying.
that doesn't sound strange at all. I was shocked and scared too. When the test results came back I was just starting to feel better after 6 months of feeling dreadful . My son was taking me away to the seaside for a week and I was actually waiting by the door to be collected by him when the phone rang and it was my GP to say you have a serious antibiotic-resistant infection, come to the surgery right away and collect some medication. Had the phone call been ten minutes late I would have left the house for a week along with a serious infection.
The infection doesn't bother some people but if your immune system is not working well it can be very serious.
Eating a healthy diet full of vegetables, fruit fish and nuts can help build up your immune system again

May I ask, what do you consider "eating very healthy"?
Your immune system is THE No 1 priority here as without it you will spiral into more and more infections and need more and more antibiotics which in turn will continue to destroy all your good gut flora and so on.
Your immune system and gut flora are the engines of your health and they are YOUR responsibility, no-one else's.
So what have you been eating to recover your immune system?

Re: Pseudomona in blood
I need to have tests to find out why I am so iron deficient and I am very anaemic which makes my immune system very low. The sooner all that can be sorted out the better. It's my fault as I have been like it for some time and kept putting it off. The hospital has requested several times that my GP looks into it. This time I definitely will do.I am eating healthy and have been for some time and have lost quite a bit of weight which of course all helps
I tend to live on salads at the moment (saves cooking 
). I eat half a bag of raw spinach a day (I love it ), I eat nuts, no more than two slices of bread a day. I've stopped eating high sugar stuff - chocolate, cakes, sweets. The sooner I can have the tests done the better. Thanks

Re: Pseudomona in blood
Alicat, I don't know if this will give you more confidence in getting better but my close friend, who has incurable cancer, had Sepsis a few months ago and was taken into hospital. I don't know if it was the same type that you have , but all Sepsis is very serious, and she is now home and has completely recovered from it.I wish you well , but if any minor symptoms re-occur, let your doctor know immediately. The sooner you catch it the better your chance of recovery.... so never be afraid to check if you are concerned, even if you are wrong!
