Do you agree with the placement of the commas in this sentence:

A few weeks, a few months, from now, you may feel very differently.

I vote for:

A few weeks, a few months from now, you may feel very differently.

-or-

A few weeks, or a few months from now, you may feel differently.

It reads a bit choppy. You could try:

A few weeks or months from now, you may feel very differently.

Speeds up the read and loses a few insignificant words.
