Oh dear, poor Milly. Judging from the unsocial time of that post, you can't have had a good night. I do hope you get magically better soon.

That's horrible luck, Milly. So sorry to hear you were suffering. I echo Mary's thoughts and hope the magic injections have done something to relieve it.

Yes thank you. One injection and two aspirins later I am back in the land of the living.  I woke up with that absolute blinder and whilst I was waiting for the injection to work (not very long usually), I logged on and set my antivirus program working through the night. Unfortunately, when I posted I was still in the thick of it. Sorry folks.  |

At last!!!! After eight miserable weeks of chest infection and bronchitis which had defied 3 courses of antibiotics and a course of steroids, my test results (from only last Thursday!) were sent to my GP today. They rang me this afternoon to tell me that I have a streptococcal infection which they're going to target specifically with a particular antibiotic. I have to take 2 twice a day for a fortnight. I picked it up earlier and took the first two on the way to taking the child crab fishing in the rock pools. I'll have 2 more round about midnight just to give me a good start.
Let's hope that this knocks it on the head once and for all. It can't be very infectious. Nobody else I know has caught it and I'm sure someone would have by now after my having it for 2 months.
Thank goodness the child, my mother and my best friend in particular, haven't succumbed to it. I'd have felt really bad if they had.

Let's hope now that they have identified it, that the targeting will pay dividends, Mills. I still have too much to do here to be able to come down and 'do a Ron' on you.  |

We know he is not a Welsh Wizard so the Mabinogian will not be invoked nor Lloyd George. Thank the Lord. The phrase may even enter the R3oK glossary if anyone can think of something clean and decent and unlikely to offend Mrs. Ogmore-Pritchard I am quite fazed by this. Does Ron have a pot of magical ointment? Where does he rub it? Fynnily enough I saw Hale & Pace in Star City, Sydney in 2002. Da Do Ron Ron and The Management. Extremely filthy and very funny.  |

That sounds hopeful, Milly, but poor you, it's taken an awfully long time to get to that point. It must have been very wearing. Here's hoping the specially trained antibiotics get in there and zap the little blighters causing all the problems.

P.S. By the way George, it's the same bugs I had when my friend and I met you at Wiltons that time. I was more than a bit poorly then but managed to put a brave face on it. Nasty little blighters they are!  |

Since last September then! Pernicious little blighters indeed. All power to the antibiotics to get them targeted and sort them out for good.

Fynnily enough Shouldn't that be 'Ffynilu', Antu?? Hope you're feeling better soon, Milly. Sounds like you're getting there at last! |

Does Ron have a pot of magic ointment? Yes, he does, though that's thanks to somebody else on this board.... Where does he rub it? Wherever it's needed, obviously. (He also does a neat line in shiatsu, though that's another story.)
