Talking of Pisces, while he was at pilates on Thursday, he and the physio who runs the class got talking about infections and how I've been struggling to recover despite multiple courses of antibiotics. She'd had infection problems after she injured her foot and had some suggestions as to what had helped her. As a result he went off to the shops and came home with a load of probiotics and other supplements that are supposed to help you regain normal gut flora and boost your immunity. I'm entirely not convinced by the claims of some of these products but at this stage I'll try anything.
Fingers crossed things will improve - and soon. It's now eight weeks since this started and I'm very, very tired of it all.

Poor Helen - really is miserable to be sick so long. I do agree with taking probiotics when you are on antibiotics. I used to eat yogurt with pros in. I do hope it works for you and that it helps.
Thanks, Jo.
Just discovered it's your birthday Helen. I do wish you all the best. The best present you could have would be a speedy recovery.
Thanks, Jo. It would indeed be the best present.
I hope you're having a bit of fun for your birthday, Helen. I have a wonky stomach as well and I take an old-fashioned drug called Ranitidine (I am allergic to all the modern ones) and a pro-biotic lolly (chocolate!) before meals keep it under control. I rarely have pain since I've been on that regime. Good luck!
My stomach issues are fairly well under control although the medication dose is pretty high. Just as well with this series of different infections that keep attacking me.
My brother and sister-in-law plus daughter, son-in-law and small granddaughter came around in the afternoon and all crowded into my bedroom around me. That was lovely.
