wanderlost-congratulations and good for you, I am veyr proud of you, 3 weeks from now you will be wondering why you waited so long! I woudl say wrap the arm when not in use with a bandage, long sleeve shirt at least, I would just do pletny yogurt for little one and take lots probiotics yourself, that has worked fine for us. I did ceftaz in july all was fine aside from exhaustion, get ready for that, we all react differently but that is what affects me most. In not so long ago past I have let exhaustion rule and cut BACK on other treatments because I was 'too tired' dont do this, be VERY aggressive with all treatments, it will make a huge difference and is what got me up to 105% last time.
take care, keep us updated, good lcuk
