Has anyone with CFS/ME had cellulitis ?

I have CFS/ PVFS (although am doing a lot better these days generally...)

I've currently got cellulitis from an insect bite on my underarm. Has anyone with CFS had experience with cellulitis? I feel like my immune system is struggling to kick it, on a second course of antibiotics and my glands feel like they're going to burst out my neck head is pounding and can't concentrate , sleep is disturbed (feeling very CFSish)

Just wondered if anyone else with CFS has had cellulitis ? How long did it take you to recover? Did your CFS symptoms get worse during the infection ?
