Soon, I will find myself a primary care physician, also known as a basic doctor. Until then, things like colds will go untreated by expensive medicine; just the OTC stuff. No insurance or other aberrations were involved. No antibiotics.
Some people think the antibiotics did the trick. I doubt it. With me it ended almost suddenly. I keep thinking it is a trick and that I'll be coughing again in no time, etc. Energy is suddenly improved. Less over-the-edge depressed. I knew that could change but not by reasoning. By all reason the depression lies and anti-pep talks make more sense than having any spirit of hope.
But that is not how things really work. I have a shot at doing fairly well and even improving and building up some.
I discovered that others had experienced a similar illness lasting roughly a month. Most of them are sure the antibiotics finally knocked it out. I wish people would go easy on that stuff. The bad guys are becoming immune.
