Thank you Theresa,
The a-b's are working at the moment but I am still feeling washed out. I have had to put off a visit from my little sister and nephew at the last moment (tomorrow – Monday) because she is taking a-b's for a viral infection caused by a tooth access… I just dare not risk it with my Neutrofils down to 1.6 from 2.5. 🙁
