Thank you!! I'll always need the feeding tube and will always struggle with my health and weight as I was born with a rare genetic disorder. I'm truly hoping this abscess/infection will clear up though! It's been 2 months or so now since it started and it's just getting worse. I've had 3 courses of antibiotics so far but the infection comes back a couple of days after I finish each course (I have virtually no immune system).  I saw my Gastro today (well, technically yesterday but I haven't slept yet!) and she's decided to really try and blast the infection with a higher dose, longer course of antibiotics. I'm now taking a 1 gram dose, 4 times a day for the next 2 weeks. I'm dreading it as antibiotics make me really ill, even when it's a lower dose and only for 5 days. God only knows what this strength and duration will do to me!! Thank you for your well wishes though!! :) Much appreciated! <3 xx
