I had been experiencing regular (every 4-8 weeks) chest infections on and off for 4 years. Seeing specialist consultants who prescribed anti biotics and steroids. The infections cleared up and then 4-6 weeks later recurred!
January 2018 - another severe infection and I visited the Simpson Centre and the doctor.
He was the first person to say - this is not right and referred me to a respiratory specialist.
He diagnosed an immune deficiency, for which I am now receiving treatment and am really well again.
A real testament to not just prescribing more antibiotics and trying to find the route cause of an issue.
I cannot thanks the doctor enough.
"At last"
