I wondered if I had/have it. This morning is the first day I haven't had a headache in the last week or so. Persistent hacking cough for a week along with an odd metallic taste in my mouth. That last symptom is something I've never had to my memory. Anyway, whatever it was finally seems to be on it's way. I hope you're doing ok LL. My sister tested positive a year ago and she was mobile after a couple of weeks with no long term problems. Brother-in-law as well. Both are retired. I don't think folks are guaranteed to have symptoms long term. Some get over it fairly quickly apparently. Not 2nd guessing your Doc...maybe she just wanted you to know it possibly could take some time.
