Anne-Marie,

In my case I would have to say that the "one month recovery time per one week of treatment" was pretty close. Now, a little over one year post Tx there is only one oddity I notice. Regardless of how much sleep I get the night before, around 2 to 4 PM each day I get a heavy sleepy feeling. I will take a brief nap if I can and it seems that just a 15 to 30 minute nap is all it takes. I honestly don't know if this is a by product of Tx or if I just got used to the daily nap while in Tx last year and can't break the habit.
