Hopeful - its true that this is hard to read because you are obvously in a lot discomfort.

Yes, with my autoimmue neuropathy it takes me a lot longer to get over a bugsometimes , othertimes not so much - it is unpredictable.

As mrsD says, use the mucinex (I live on this from feb-July and then when ever I get a chest cold other times of the year) and Vit D all year long - I have been told by way too many people that vit D is essential for Autoimmune PN!

I have also found that a humidifier gets me through the congestion quite a bit quicker than with out one - I don't know if this just me though.

I hope you feel better soon.
