Hi all,

I've had initial headache 10 days ago. Last Saturday has low grade fever until Tuesday. Never had cough and since Tuesday no fever. Yesterday did some tests and :

  • white cells and lymphocytes normal
  • elevated crp, 21
  • elevated d dimer, 1550
  • elevated fibrinogen, 730

X Ray of chest showed no problems with alveola, just some "emphasis" in tracea and bronchi.

My doctor panicked and prescribed:

Talked to another doctor and he said it's bull. Maybe heparin, but it's not really neccesary.

A third one said xarelto is enough and 4mg dexamethasone.

My self assessment is that on Thursday and Friday, I was feeling weak in the afternoon, which means the body was fighting hard. On Saturday it's to be expected than inflammation markers are high, but the body is fighting well and no need to do anything.

Any suggestions?
