Hi Muffy
I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt, how absolutely dreadful. What a complete worry for all of you. To think 2 years on drugs for it - gosh.

Any way of sueing the airliner?

Oh Muffy, I hope she's OK in the end. I haven't heard of it.
My mam had a really bad chest infection form the air con on an airoplane a couple of years ago and they had to come home a week early. (She has a bad heart so felt safer at home). The company stung them for £200 and the plane home was only half full.
All my best wishes to you and your Aunt, Muffy.
EDIT - I have heard of Legionaires BTW

She went to Cyprus a few weeks back and caught some sort of infection ......... it seems it's trying to take her over.........Dad says the name of it is virulitis but I've googled and can't find it.

Doctors think it came from the air con on the plane !!!!

She has to spray stuff in her mouth as whatever it is keeps growing inside her !!! If it hadn't been caught in time it would've caused all her organs to shut down.

She's still really poorly and will be on extremely strong steroids for at least the next two years........with the risk of kidney damage.

Anyone ever heard of this before? She is so weak she can't hold a cup and her face has ballooned because of the steroids.

We're all very worried about her xx
