Ivs, AGAIN :(

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry I haven't posted in AGES!
Well since I last posted I've been on holiday to turkey, it was really hot, we went on lots of trips including a jeep safari, two boat trips, a water park, and a few more things.
So I said in my last post that my doctor had prescribed me some antibiotics incase I started to feel a bit ill, so I started to use them on the second week of the holiday I think, I didn't feel to bad as i was in the heat and my chest always feels so much better in the heat than in the rubbish English weather!
So we though that if there was any infection in my chest that we got it in time as I started to feel much better, but then as we got back home to the UK I started feeling ill again!
I had a bad cold, I felt really tired, no energy and my chest didn't feel great,  I went up to the hospital and one of the doctors started me on a higher dose if the antibiotics! but they didn't do anything, they just gave me headaches and made me feel sick :(
 We went back to the hospital but it was for my CF clinic, so there was lots of people wanting to see me!
There was my consultant, professor David, my outreach nurse, my dietician, and then some nurses from Manchester children's hospital, (I go there to see my liver specialist) 
So I went to see my physio first and she did my lung function, and it was normal it had actually gone up a little bit since last time, then I got weighed and my weight had also gone up a little bit, but then when I went to see my consultant and professor they said my chest sounded a bit crackly, my consultant was going to start me on another course of antibiotics, but prof David said no, I had to start my Ivs, it had only been 7 weeks since I had my last course of Ivs, but he said if I didn't have them then I would of got quite ill, so I'm on my Ivs again, I started them on Tuesday 1st October, and I finish them ON MY BIRTHDAY 15th October, which means I'll have to go in hospital in my birthday, that's fun :(
