Gut bacteria? What a surprise!

When I was 12, I was kept on a continuous regime of oral antibiotics for several months. I had blood tests every day to monitor my "white count". As far as I am concerned, that is the only way to use antibiotics. It is almost never done now. Superbugs are the result.

I had osteomyelitis, which I recommend you do not get. I lived my life before MS and had a pretty good one, till then. The antibiotics cured my osteomyelitis.

Not one doctor I have had since then cared tuppence about this history.

I am convinced a good way to treat MS is with a microbiome (fecal) transplant. I do not know how to get one.

If only mice controlled the drug industry, instead of the other way around.
