Sadly it is normal to have a longer recovery from illnesses due to our CLL compromised immune systems. Did your doctor give you an indication of how long you might take to recover? Have you had a follow-up appointment? You may need a different antibiotic or perhaps there's another cause that needs to be identified.

Thanks Neil. I've just sent in another sample I guess it's another watch and wait.

They said it would take up to one year before it clears up. No dairy, gluten .
