Going to dr tonight to make sure I don't...got a cold/sore throat last Monday, now cough has worsened and it's very, um, wet feeling and I feel like a horse is sitting on my chest.

My dad had pneumonia a few years back and he had a terrible back ache. I am sorry, that is all I know about it. I am praying it is not that or bronchitis. You have had enough virus's this year! I am sending healing vibes your way.

Hugs,
Vicki

Thank you, Vicki.
It's mild asthma triggered by my cold...2 yrs ago they said hyperreactive airway disease, I was on an inhaler for a few mths and then was ok. Did pretty bad on breathing test, but after an inhaler it improved 21% which is significant, he said. I have two inhalers now (Proventil and Asthmanex) and have to get a chest xray. He wants to see me Thurs to listen to my lungs again. I was wheezing and whistling.

Michele, I'm sure glad it's not pneumonia but it sure doesn't sound pleasant.

Donna and Brian both have allergy induced asthma. It is not fun. The Proventil makes Donna shake for about five minutes. AND I mean shake, and then it disappears. I hope you feel better soon.

Actually, since the mtx is supposed to help, I should continue it and the Enbrel.

I shake just a little from the albuterol. It's worth it to get the relief for me. Poor Donna!
