Because my immune system is hitting rock bottom I had a consultatation the the Immuologist at the Heath Hospital in Cardiff. After 3 hours came out totally impressed by him who went through my medical history from top to bottom, It was like having a medical mot,

Because the doctors cannot get rid of the bugs that are constantly giving me chest infections after infection, Now I am on antibiotics three times a week for the rest of my days, with a bit of teweaking if necessary.

Seamingly my red blood cell are up the creek so he is tooking after that and on Friday I go to me GP for a HUB Jab. (Please dont aske me what that is cause I dont know)

With blood tests after 3 weeks with the results going to the immuologist I'm impressed I will let you know what happens. On one point he was examining me he said what are these white spots on your back i replied sorry have not a clue he said by any chance have you had shingles i said oh yes about 4/5 years ago, thorough or what.

Sounds like a very thorough check over Berwick. I'm glad you're feeling more positive after seeing the immunologist, I think maybe you mean HIB Vaccine? I've had the Pneumococcal vaccine as well as my flu jabs.

Here's hoping re your results.

Take care

Hi berwick - Sorry to hear you have been so ill but good to hear your consultant is on the ball. The Heath Cardiff is my local hospital too and over the last few weeks I have been a guinnea pig for two research projects to help people with copd and I too have nothing but praise for all the staff I came in contact with.

Speedy recovery berwick - take care BBXX

Berwick & Blackbird,

Although my "local" hosp is UHW I attend Llandough, so in the meantime it's a waiting game for the immunologist to send an appointment and see which hospital it'll be.

Have to wait and see what happens in a months time - tomorrow I'm to start oral abs for 2 weeks then sputum test 2 weeks later if results aren't good it's iv's for me
