Three years with this disease and three winters in a row with bad respiratory chest cold. This trend is getting old. Since my sinuses are so ruined, and I rinse so often, colds hit me right in the middle of my chest--literally! It's been two long weeks today that I've been fighting this one. On Tuesday, doc finally relented and put me on 12 day dose pack of pred (40x3 days, 30x3, 20x3, 10x3). It seems to be helping, but the hyper-activity can't keep up with the exhaustion. I fly, I crash! The nebulizer came out of storage as well as the bottle of Acetylcysteine (mucus buster medication also used treat Tylenol overdoses). So cough syrup every 4 hours, the good Rx stuff at night, nebi every 4 hours when I am awake, and maybe, just maybe, I'll be better by the beginning of next week.
So, I'm not much in the holiday spirit this week; I'm still sick, and tired of fighting this coughing. Thanks for letting me vent!
