Thanks for the information Marlene, My white counts are up and doing their part, every white component is above the low range of normal, but the tacrolimus keeps them all from taking care of the infection

I just asked my doctor about adding cranberry juice, etc, to my diet to try and assist, even if it is only psychological and he said sure, won't hurt anything to do so.

It is nice to get confirmation from someone who tried the cranberry approach and that it may have had a positive impact. This is a nasty little infection that I would not wish on anyone, and I am willing to try just about anything to help it out the door.
