Thank you for this reply and healing wishes - it seems I was being overly optimistic to think I would be over this in two weeks as if it was a common cold or the flu. It is actually good to hear that I am not the only one with lingering symptoms. I do have to say that some of it is starting to improve, but new symptoms seem to show up too. I don't like the idea of 3-6 months - but it helps me to have more realistic expectations. I have looked into some primary docs that were referred to me but none are currently taking new Medicare patients. I can continue to look but hate to just pick someone off the internet without knowing anything about them.
I too have been drinking teas and don't have much appetite, and keeping a log of symptoms
does sound like a good idea.
So thank you again for this response and for sharing your thoughts - I appreciate it.
