Sorry for the delay in filling this report. I have been having difficulty concentrating and following through on my duties. On Date; boarding a flight from ZZZ-ZZZ1. We had a Fume Event at the boarding door; and continued during the two hour flight. During boarding the number 2 flight attendant report to the cockpit; there was an odd smell entering the aircraft when they boarded. And then the number 1 repeated the claim; also to the cockpit. The cockpit did nothing to investigate; we pushed back and went to ZZZ1. During the flight; I became nausea; headache; sore throat; burning eyes; and dizzy. Along with the rest of my crew. The number 1; reported to the Captain we were ill and to have medical personal to meet the air craft. We all filled out a report in flight. We spent two visits to the ER in ZZZ1. And spent X days there in the hotel.  I was grounded for additional time; because I had fluid in my lungs. I went to the ER [at domicile].  I found out I still had carbon monoxide poising still in my blood; X days later. After a couple days. I went to the Company clinic in the airport at ZZZ2. I was told by the doctor he would not release me to come back to work; he felt I was unsafe to fly. He wanted me to see a neurology doctor. I reported the findings to my OJI case manager; and she said he can not do that. And with in one hour; I received an email releasing me to go back to work. Also was informed; I only get two doctors appointments payed for by the company; the rest is out of my pocket. I still having migraines; balance issues; night sweats; shortness of breath; muscle pain; fatigue; chills; short memory issues and some shaking. The company has done nothing but give me two points for attendance issues and taken around XX hours of my personal sick time for pay. Which is most of my sick time gone. Also I know the aircraft in question was grounded in ZZZ1 for at least X days; waiting on a part. This whole incident could have been avoided; if the Captain investigated before we closed the door and went to ZZZ1.
