    Hi @Michelleuk48 - welcome to the community, & thank you for joining.  :)  I'm sorry you've faced problems with having so many infections. Unfortunately we can't give medical advice as we're not qualified to do so. Is your GP supportive in finding out more, or has he referred you for specialist input?

    Hi @Michelleuk48 and a warm welcome to our community.

    I'm so sorry to hear that you're getting repeat infections.  That sounds really tough to cope with and I can understand you feeling at your wits end :(  What input from medical professionals have you had to support you with this?  Have you explained to your GP how it's impacting your daily life and mood?

    Unfortunately, as advised, we can't offer any specific medical advise as we're unqualified but we can be here to support you any time you need to vent or read others experiences  <3  One place to start browsing other members' stories is our Undiagnosed and rare conditions category (a space I've moved your thread to).  

    I've amended the title of your thread to help others see what your question relates to, and in the mean-time I'm sending lots of get well wishes your way.  Take care and please let us know how you get on.
