Bronchitis? So not shiny.
Friday, November 3, 2006

Well, after spending the better part of a week having to literally concentrate and make a significant effort just to take a full breath, I finally got myself to the doctor yesterday.

Ever had bronchitis? If not, some advice: Avoid it, if at all possible. My doctor prescribed two inhalers and told me to take it easy (HA!), and I am breathing a little easier now. Still, I would not wish the way I'm feeling on my worst enemy.

Okay, MAYBE on certain network executives. I'm only human...

Oooh...I know how ya feel. I have had more than one case of infection-based (rather than chronic) bronchitis in my life and it ain't fun. Especially when you get coughing fits so bad your lungs start to ache 24/7 from the bruising and your ribs being to crack:(

Still...shiny happy vibes are being sent your way to help with the day to day drag of getting through this, FB. I know I am behind ya in this:D

Like Ms G I've got chronic bronchitis. I'm also an asthmatic. Bad combo. Get well wishes your way, FB. Also...I can recommend a great cough syrup. It's called Buckleys (check your local Rite Aid) and...while it does taste incredibly awful, it's the most effective stuff I've taken. Ever. It's kinda like drinking liquid Vicks.
Go get lots of sleep and drink hot liquids. *hugs*

Oh no! I had that last winter! It was horrible! I waited until it was really bad before visiting the doctor. I could have kicked myself. I had to sleep sitting up, it was so bad. God, I hope I never get that again.
Well just keep taking your medicine and prop yourself up with lots of big comfy pillows.
I'm sending you good, healthsome thoughts, FB. Take care of yourself and get as much rest as possible.

I have chronic bronchitis so I totally sympathize. May I reccomend Vicks 44E( the E is the important part) losens up the horrible I'm drowning in my own lungs thing somewhat. HUGS and I hope you feel better sweety. It's miserable and I am so very sorry you have it

Yea, Bronchitis is rough. I'm an asthmetic, and once in the second grade I missed two or three weeks of school because I had pneumonia and bronchitis at the same time! So I know where you're coming from. Get better soon!
