I finally got my prescription and have started on a course of antibiotics. 

A suitable follow-up to this seemed be to start gathering all the data for my tax return, my least favourite job of the year! I also spent some time trying to plan when  to take the antibiotics, and when to eat – the antibiotics need to be taken 4 times a day equally spaced through the day, and not less than 2 hours after a meal and not less than 1 hour before a meal.

I didn’t manage to actually quite finish and submit the tax return.
