since november, have had 6 courses of antibiotics-2 X week courses both left me feeling shattered

no more help from GP or hospital

up to last october had been very fit for over 2 years

had pneumonia in 2008 and similar start of 2010 which apparently left scarring at base of lung

am desperate to know if I will improve over time or in better weather.

cold weather, even though wrapped up warm brings on cold symptoms-amtaking a lot of vitamins

Sorry, Deezies, you are feeling shattered after feeling well up to last Oct. You need help and reasssurance. This should come from your GP/nurse. Do ring BLF. They are very sympathetic.tel.03000030555 All the best Annie
