Then, one of my sons got it and was sick from Christmas to mid January.
That son and I belong to the same PPO and have the same primary care doc that we had before the doctor joined the PPO.
Being 80+, I got a lot of tests of all types and never got a diagnosis.
That son lost over 30#'s and missed more work in a month than in his previous 15 years at the same company.
Our 20 year old grandson got the crud a few days after Christmas was okay on 2 Jan. 2020.
My wife and no women in our family got the crud.
My wife had worked with this doctor in a private practice when he first came to our area.
So she asked the doctor what I had and our grandson had.
His reply, "Probably the same thing, and we don't know what it was. It was probably some virus!"
No “probably”, grandpa. We had it. Every symptom we’ve all come to know and “love” was present in my family and in my daughters school in November 2019. No ifs, ands or buts. Not one doc or medical personnel was able to pinpoint what it was but we know. I’m still suffering today. I’ve got long term lung damage from the deep, in your core cough I endured for weeks. Coughing still today. (New normal?)
And no, I refuse to “get an antibody test” because I’ll just become another statistic. But we know….
