cheers guys - the problem is these recurring infections and colds and everything else you can think of have been going on soooo long! i've taken me time, i've been signed off work since january, although i have carried on with uni because i love it, it keeps my mind active which is soooo important, and it's probably the most important thing in my life. if i stop that i will go nuts! again...

i'm trying to rest but i hate being stuck indoors, in bed etc, i like to be out doing stuff (the weather here is stopping me, it's cold, wet and windy, so hardly ideal for being ill).

part of me wants to stop and let myself get back 100% but i'd go mad, i'd be bored out of my mind, i'd resent not being at uni, and that would make me depressed and irritable. i've told them tonight i'll not make the lecture but i'm hoping to feel better enough tomorrow - just get a taxi there and back and sit and listen. fingers crossed, because i bloody hate being ill.

and yeah, all these (a) steroids and (b) antibiotics can't be good - i already have an immunity and need strong anti-biotics. i'm just really fed up about this - it seems everytime i get better, another infection does this to me:
