Just a small update.

My Doctor wanted to see me again , to check up on things. She is keeping me off of work for an additional week due to the amount /rapidness of my weight loss (my job is very physically demanding) she wants me to focus on eating more ect, as to build back some strength.

She told me that my last blood work showed my white blood cell count to be above normal range @ 12,000. That was 6 days ago.

I got retested today and it is in normal range now @ 8500. (Normal is somewhere between 4.5-11, is what the nurse told me.)
The nurse told me this is a good sign.
I am 3 days away from finishing my 2nd round of Flagyl,and hoping for the best.

The Doctor said she wont order another "post" treatment test, (I did one after the first round, that came back positive)as she seems quite confident the additional round of meds will beat this. She did of course tell me to call her if I have any further issues.
Hoping for a cure.
