Thanks again everyone.

I don't think it is Legionaires but whatever it is has knocked her flying.
She had lots of tests done last week on her kidneys but they have come back as inconclusive. She's off for more tests this week so hopefully we'll know more once they come back. xx

HI HUN,HOPE YOUR AUNT GETS WELL SOON.I THINK LEGIONAIRES IS CAUGHT IN THE WATER AS WELL,AS I HAVE TO RUN THE TAPS AT WORK FO 5 MINS TO WATER TEST.XXXX

Sorry to hear this, Muffy, how awful for your Aunt and for the family to see her so poorly.

Wishing her a good recovery xx

It is well known - a lot in papers past few weeks that the quality of the air in aircraft is very poor. The air passes thro the engines and can pick up all sort of contaminants in doing so. Some flight crew been badly affected and banned from flying. Me, I'm glad I no longer fly. Passing air thro engines instead of having own unit to compress and feed the cabin with air was brought in late60s Ithink.

Hi Muffy,
Sorry to hear about your Aunt, and I do hope she recovers soon.

I know of two people who developed similar symptoms after a holiday in Goa, and they both made a slow but steady recovery.

I always come down with a cold after after being on a plane, and am always wary of public buildings with air-con recycling other people's germs.

best wishes to all of you

Helen she's a typical *smith* tough as old boots lol

Actually it's the Smith women that are as tough as old boots not the men.....xx

If she's usually a well person she should be in a better position to fight this off. (((hugs)))

Just mentioned Legionaires to Dad.......he says that she wasn't isolated at any stage and would've been with Legionaires........so.........maybe it's something else? He's going to speak to my cousin and try and find out more now the shock of seeing her has subsided a bit. Thanks everyone for your kind words and good wishes. It means a lotxx

Hi Muffy,
Sorry to hear about your Aunt...I hope she recovers soon. xxx

Sorry to hear of your aunt's problems.I hope she makes a steady recovery.

I think, not sure because I'm not 'medical' that Legionaires is usually in water droplets or to do with moisture, eg shower heads.

My husband was ill within a day or two of arriving in NZ.
His 1st trip anywhere was to the doctors for antibiotics.
As he has never needed a doctor for years, we can only guess that he picked something up on the plane.

Thanks girls ......... all positive thoughts much appreciated. She's usually such an energetic lady.......Dad was devastated to see how weak she was yesterday.

Looks like it is going to be a long haul back to full health for her xx

Muffs how awful for your Auntie, I really hope she is going to be ok. It does sound like legionnaires, we had a big break out here in 2002, 7 people died.


Love and prayers,

Thanks Helen.

Harpy.......I'm not sure hon. I think they would probably class it as an act of god and it would be extremely hard to prove xx
