Unfortunately after 7 weeks the inflammation came back. The nagging cough I had also disappeared. So, I can only assume I had some sort of chest infection or virus that kept my immune system busy or lowered it. However, if that were the case I would have thought I would suffer from greater tiredness as well but that was not the case. Anyhow, interesting none the less. It felt great to have no inflammation for a while. Now that its back I feel more tired that is for sure.
