I’m frustrated at the moment. I’ve been chronically ill for a few years now and slowly getting used to that as my new normal. Around Christmas I got strep and it took a while to go away. And then I was left with an awful cough which I still have. My primary doctor is concerned and sent me to my cardio. My cardio is sending me for *another* echo and then a full autoimmune panel and bacterial panel. I have been out of work since New Year’s Eve and I’m so worried about financial issues and of course my health. Ironically my mental health is thriving.

      Oh no! I'm so sorry you're going through that! I caught a nasty cold over a month ago, and I STILL have a cough. I had to use a rescue inhaler the other day because I coughed so much I inflamed my airway and was wheezing like crazy. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with a whole bunch more testing. Sending you hugs and positive thoughts ❤️

      I caught a bad cold at the end of October, and I just finally got over the cough in the last week or so. Took about 10 weeks to resolve. I’ve found that in my body, everything just takes longer. Sounds like you have a good primary if they’re taking things seriously. Hope you get some relief soon!
