I haven’t a clue radars but I’ve had several courses of antibiotics over the last year for UTIs and diverticulitis and I’m still in one piece 🤞I figure it’s probably better for your body not to have to deal with a massive infection.

Are you taking pro biotics along with your antibiotics? I always do that to try to help my gut.

Poor you - that sounds horrible. Sounds like you definitely need those antibiotics. You are probably too poorly to want to bother but is there any chance of someone making you some nice home made chicken broth? I say chicken but it turns out my son loves tomato soup when he is feeling poorly ( no idea why as it wasn’t something he ever got when he lived at home).

Rest up and I hope you feel better very soon. .
