#24 Sorry for jumping ahead to 2020 in the previous blog but I thought 1x year seizure free was an acceptable reason to do so. Let’s go back to Autumn 2019 (cue the wavy crossfade and harp sounds)… 3/4x days after being discharged from hospital, my symptoms from campylobacter had pretty much vanished.
