I've only recently heard of this. It is, apparently a new, emerging pathogen.

No I have not heard of it at all. What antibiotics were prescribed for you VELoce21? I hope you feel better soon. Just the name alone does not sound good! Best wishes to you.

Thank you for caring. I took my emergency antibiotics 500mg amoxicillin three times a day for 14 days. I am not acutely ill now but each infection leaves me worse off. I couldn’t pull myself up to a sitting position today. It’s left me weak

Thank you for your message. I am glad you are not ill now but feel for you being weak. Do you take any nutrients ie a tonic of some kind to build you up after these events. It obviously is a very debilitating illness. Do you have family there with you for support? A couple of years ago I had a really odd bacteria which was not seen a lot. Thankfully I got through it. I hope you start to pick up in strength VELoce21. Thinking of you and sending hugs from Oz.xx
