It is worth asking what the claim would look like if it were false.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.

Mine went the same way, slower. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

Coming at Dr.AddMedPHL’s question from a different direction. The version of this that has an answer is narrower than the version being asked. Narrow it and it becomes tractable; leave it broad and the thread will produce nine confident and incompatible replies.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here. A large fraction of the apparent disagreement in these threads is two people using different units and both being right.

If somebody has the primary source to hand I would rather cite it than paraphrase it.
