Renee,

Thanks for the reply, I had my fasting insulin levels tested which happened to be on day 4 of my cycle (I have read that it should have been done at end of cycle) and it was 11.7 (6-27) which is normal, or perhaps low - my BMI is 29, I haven't had my fasting glucose done this year last year it was fine. I don't think I am diabetic but my father has type 2 and I remember the problems he had with food/sugar and know mine are similar. (I have had virtually everything he has had). His type 2 was diagnosed in his late 50's (he's in early 60's now) I'm only 37, for both of us our problems began around 34-35.

My other infection started last december/january and finished up in February on my fourth medication. We used that same antibiotic this time and it didn't work.

I was just wondering if it was that I'm encountering difficult strains or my body is having a difficult time with infections.

I eat a lot of chicken and am thinking it's probably time to spend the money for the antibiotic free kind (and to write my congressman about the issue of antibiotics in our food supply).
