The Devil in the form of Bronchitis

I hate bronchitis. It's not often that I resort to the use of the word hate, but it's official. I hate it. I started to get sick on June 10th and I thought I was finally over it this last weekend. My cough was hardly there and I didn't have a fever. So I resumed triathlon training yesterday and was up all night in coughing fits. Back to the vicodin. I wonder how bad it'd be if I tried to operate a bike while on vikadin. It's killing me to not work out. It cures my moodiness. Without it I'm a person you don't want to be around. Lame. Some of you must have had bronchitis before. How did you get over it?

Try Mucinex or another form of expectorant. Very helpful for getting the gunk out of your lungs. Kind of a gross concept, but it speeds things up. I use it when I can kind of feel that heaviness in my lungs when I breathe in.

Oh my. I just got over that cough that wouldn't go away. I also have mild asthma on top of it so that's just tons of fun.

My only relief was my albuterol inhaler and LOTS of sleep. I thank God for my sister in law visiting because she's the only reason I got sleep.

Feel better!

Oh no! I'm so sorry honey! I wish I had some kind of magic cure-all that would fix it! Unfortunately, I think you just have to wait it out.

I never had it. I remember my mother having it once and she was seriously ill.

Good luck. See your doctor promptly if you get worse.
