Any positve results from changng your diet? I had so many severe problems that at first my progress was difficult to acknowledge, but it is happening in small, critical gains. When I acknowledge my true gains in strength, mental clarity, overcomng SOB, understandng possible healng paths, etc., I'm focussing on healing vs. frustration and despair. My sense is, as long as you can benefit from the antibotic treatments, keep after your docs to ID the infecting bodily processes/pathogen. Seems like your docs are dong good work. And so are you.

Thanks for this and for asking.
My diet changed so drastically after my appendix was removed in Sept. 2022.
I lost my appetite for so many things.
I lost so much weight and was able to detox from sugar in the hospital.
I craved it like water before the surgery.
I thought, "oh geez that is why I am feeling so horrible. now that my appendix is gone, I will be a-ok.' but that was not the case. After a week of antibiotic clarity, I was back to weak, and fatigued, with brain fog, matrix brain, leg tingles, etc.
The only thing that helped was magnesium for the leg tingles and to help me sleep.

I am so sensitive to sugar now and I loved donuts, cake, Slurpees, etc and now I cringe thinking of eating sugar. It makes my body react so horribly which is wild. I am petite and my metabolism is so high so snacks did effect my weight, but it affected my health for sure.

The bonus of not eating sugar snacks is just not being in an uncomfortable state. I do wish I could have a hostess cupcake but then get PTSD thinking of how my body will create. LOL
