Dr. John Leander Po answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Question or advice?: Terribly sorry about the illness and virus infection. However, we can help you even better if we have a specific question from you. If you are asking for some general advice, all i can say is that it gets better- consider your recovery as a marathon, requiring both your physical and mental strength to complete it.
