Give me a B- cough... Give me an R- hack, hack... Give me an-O ... cough gag, grab puffer

With bronchitis, you're lucky if you can finish a sentence without coughing up what's left of your lungs.

I started with a sinus infection and cold two weekends ago. I got over it (so I thought) and Tuesday I started having a dry cough. Then the cough got worse, my lungs failed and I wound up being back on all my puffers Friday night and suffered all weekend.

Asthma, you are a bitch.

    My wife got the cold going around Friday January 31st. I had the start of it, but it left Saturday Feb 1st. Fast forward until afternoon of Wednesday Feb 5th and I have the cold again.

    How is that even possible? After battling Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday through it, I feel much better.

    Biggest tip: Sore or scratchy throat? Gargle with mouthwash (tastes a lot $#%*ing better than salt water) and chew gum, preferably peppermint as it helps remove that awesome taste in your mouth.

    Sinus infections are the worst. I had one that would only cause real problems at night. No amount of decongestant or nasal spray would work, and as soon as I tried to go to bed my sinuses would fully block up. I have a CPAP which made using that impossible for almost a week. My wife was ready to kill (for anyone who uses, or has a partner that uses a CPAP, you will understand).

    Hope you are better today.

    CPAP - please, I fucking hate it and yes, can't use it right now

    SINUS - can kiss my ass

    Am I miserable? YES. Do I have time for this? NOPE

    There were a lot of people sick at my office. I blame them all.

    This is a huge setback for me and puts a huge dent in my exercise but, I have to rest, get better and then continue kicking ass.

    I've been sick too, sigh.
    Had to take 2 sick days last week and went to work on Friday coughing like crazy still. But after the weekend, much better. Still got a bit of the sinuses and throat still hurts a bit but at least I can talk.
