Being sick sucks in the unfun way

Good news! I don't have pneumonia! Bad news is that my breathing problems and awful coughing are the result of my asthma not playing nice with the bug I've got. I have a scrip for antibiotics and the doc also gave me scrips for a daily steroid inhaler to get my asthma under control and a rescue inhaler (I'd let both scrips lapse). When it came time

Ah sleeping in the comfy reclining chair. Been there, though for vertigo from drainage into my ears. Glad that the ETA for the meds isn't too long.

Insanity is healthy sometimes. Medicinal doll ordering.

I don't sleep well in a recliner so I'm not looking forward to trying that or something similar. I had to do it last night and I slept very poorly.

Doll crazy. That's what I am. I'm now going to have to list the Miro body for sale (I don't need it anymore) but I'll need to wait until I'm feeling better to do that.

Glad you have some meds to help you now. How do you feel about propping yourself up on lots of pillows? Or maybe getting a wedge? That sure beats trying to sleep in a recliner :(

I had a bunch of pillow behind me last night as as soon as I laid down flat, the coughing started and I felt like I was breathing underwater. I find it very uncomfortable to sleep like that and I get waking up coughing. Things finally settled down at about 4am and I was actually able to sleep flat out without too much breathing issues.

And when I initially woke up this morning I could breathe through my nose. 20 minutes later... it's running again. Grrrrrrrrr
