    May want to get checked for blood clots they do cause swelling and can break off and go to lungs. Just to be on safe side.

    This coughing with mucus, yes, have had that for a long time. My doc didnt say anything else than: WEll, u have smoked havent u? And I answered: Yes, I did but stopped 1997.

    !!!!!!!

    No real swelling in ankles and feet, just when I have been sitting with the computer for a long time. Thats is not unnormal and my feet are always good in the morning.

    This mucus annoys me, some peeps say it doesnt go together with costo, other than if the costo is bacterial, which is very rare. But I have some cough and have continuos sinus infections, too, so maybe this isnt connected to costo other than this inflammation has messed up my immune system. I was diagnosed with costo Jan 2015, it turned to Tietzes with swellings, firstly around the collar bones and then further down, a couple of months later.

    All my blood tests have been OK so far. Have some pain in my feet, gonna get xrays and ultra sound next week. There is some osteo arthritis in my feet and sometimes the pain in getting worse, so that will be checked. May cast some light over what is happening with my skeleton, I think. Or maybe not, sigh. This condition sucks, anyhow.
