Phillippe,
Don't know you, but I experienced a less severe bout 6 years ago.
I got very sick, lost over a month of work, and importantly, i want to tell
you, in the ensuing years, i seemed to get sick easier. A chest cold led to bronchitis very
easily. My doctor is pretty aggressive when I have a chest cold, and i don't hesitate
to see him when I feel lousy.
Stay healthy, and be patient with recovery!
