Met with doc this morning. There is new research that shows that the pneumonia I have been fighting off the last couple weeks might be influencing things but admitted it doesn't explain everything. Based on just having lab work, he wants me to wait two more weeks to get the infection cleared out my system; good news was that my lungs are finally showing clear but need to be rid of the rest of the symptoms to retest. Then retest with some additional tests as well. He gave me the lab slip for then. The other side of it, without my saying anything, is that he is concerned though that the pneumonia could be symptomatic of a compromised immune system, being not the cause but a result of something else which is my fear.
So, right now, I am hoping for it being the infection, and taking things one thing at a time. I appreciate this common sense approach which calmed my anxiety. Now to wait two weeks will be fun but understandable. Nothing to do now but wait and focus on getting better. So we'll see.
Thank you so much for the support!
