Stopped for 24 hours. Infection in throat/neck much better but still comes back in the evening so definitely not gone. I've got antibiotics on the way but won't receive for a week.
This is very similair to my June throat infection. The difference being that one was fungal I think or candida albicans and only needed 2 days of low dose clindamycin to die off. But I had an allergic reaction and my doctor never allowed me to take more. I believe this did me no favours.
I often feel better not worse taking antibiotics for these throat infections that I get. But it could also be an underlying factor of my ME too. An NHS gp told me two years ago that bacterial resistant doesn't happen if you take antibiotics for 5 to 10 days at a time. Only if you take them for very long periods of time or I assume too short a period to clear the infection. So that gives me hope that taking more won't make me severely ill.
But yes still feeling bloody awful. Fatigue, sore throat (milder now), no tonsil pain anymore and no tonsil swelling, phlegm production from infection is down a lot. But the fatigue is bad. Energy envelope is trashed and my head spins if I go out.
Funny thing is I've realised that many of my symptoms could all be attributed to bacteria.
There's a lady on s4me.info who treated her ME with a very potent and rather dangerous anti microbial called bactrim. It's dangerous because it has some really terrible side effects if you're unlucky. However after 2 years she was in remission. She works full time at an nhs pain clinic and she exercises vigorously. Even goes on hikes.
So it makes me wonder maybe it's the bacteria not the viruses that are causing the ebv to replicate. I may actually be looking in the wrong place.
However taking antibiotics for life seems risky from a resistance perspective. She takes them on the NHS because she has immunodeficiency in her igg subclasses.
