That matron sounds more a hindrance then a help. I wonder if the repeated infections means that they're not clearing properly and you're re-infecting a few days after you finish a course of abx.

I really wish you'd get a break too, Margaret, you really deserve one at this stage.

Hi Time-2- drink......lets hope the antibiotics do their work, and I am glad they are going to retest you to see if they have.

Could you ring your GP today and ask about the steroids...have you got enough at home, and ask about the oramorph too.

Best wishes to you and Frank.

Now concerned that the Anti biotic i had just taken will not work .Best wishes Margaret

Oh noooo if it’s not one thing it’s another 😓 have you got any Imodium to stop the diarrhoea?? To give your body the chance to absorb the antibiotic or maybe it’s the antibiotics that’s causing the diarrhoea

I really feel for you, Margaret. There seems to be no end to your problems. If it was written as a novel, it would seem unbelievable that one person can have so much bad luck.

I totally agree there doesnt seem to be any let up although Horror story more apt i think .I have spent the day in Bed had horrendous diaorhea through last night and into easly afternoon wondering will it have affected my anti biotics. I havent eaten today just drinks also my Breathing has Been really Bad found it hard to get a decent Breathe so makes me panic more had to resort to taking lorazapam . Hoping for a better night Best wishes Margaret
