??????????????????: You ask a question we do not have enough evidence to answer. How were you diagnosed? What abx and for what timeframe were you treated?Why do you assume it is back? This is not an issue for a net based service it is one for your doctor to sort out by thorough evaluation and testing. I suspect you have had a reaction to treatment meds, but again this is not the way that is investigated.
