Do you prefer to see or ask your primary care physician first, or immediately seek out a specialist?

Yes, depends on if you are prone to them (knock wood again!)

One day we’ll find out why humans are so different in their susceptibility to different diseases.

My spouse gets sniffly colds, lingering coughs.

I never get those, but get terrible sore throats that are never strep.

I get body aches - spouse does not.

I don’t have measurable fevers even when I’m burning. Our kids also measure cold.

One of them gets the lingering coughs. None get my wicked sore throats.
