That's a long time to have to deal with a cold, @mereneg. Has it gotten better in the meantime?

Thank you for asking! This group is the best like a family. After 6 weeks almost back to my usual - had lost my appetite and lost ten pounds but all my blood work was ok - some new virus is what my dr thought

Sorry. Just noticed your msg.
Eventually went to see a doc because cough was getting more frequent and violent. CXR showed a mild pneumonia. Cough suppressant + antibiotic > prompt resolution. 🙂
Causative organism not identified, but quite possibly "walking pneumonia" due to mycoplasma that seems to be rampant in Canada this year.
