Sounds a little like me ie got better for a short while then worse again. After second trip to the hospital ( three days). Have recovered nicely. Only symptom is ascites but controlled. Going on a year since first hospitalization. I think our body systems are fighting for us and winning some of the battles. Going for blood tests next month. Hopefully we keep going in the right direction. Everyones body systems are different. No one truly knows what’s going on in there. My doctor is surprised I lived. Remember to be nice to all your systems, they work together ie I had to ignore the limit the water intake suggested by many. I was too dehydrated. Without out enough fluid my body was unable to make key chemical reactions. Im not telling you to do the same it worked for me though. I was dying from dehydration. Good luck and God Bless.

Thank you , it was my second stay in hospital , but im sure I had a deep infection (on a drip for 10 days) no ascetics so no limit to fluid intake .
