Hello Everyone: Well, I have been trying to figure out why I cannot stop this ridiculous COUGHING FIT that I have had since January - it gets so bad some nights that I sit BOLT UPRIGHT in bed, and I feel like I am either gonna cough up my lung, or that my airway will close up. I think it may be due to my allergies or something in my environment, or due to severe bouts of bronchitis. Usually, when I get the bronchitis, the doctor gives me some prednizone to help me open things up so I can get rid of whatever it is. This year however, I have been coughing like crazy, and with my asthma, I have my inhalers and such, and he knows that a nebulizer helps me to get the rest of whatever it is out of my system - However, they want me to have the Pulmonary Function Test. I have to see the Pulmonologist on Tuesday, and then HOPEFULLY, when this COVID-19 thing is over, I can get the test they want me to have. It has been a nightmare sometimes, because it feels like I am unable to breathe. This sucks guys and girls - Hopefully they can help me get whatever is causing this under control - I continue to use the nebulizer with the duoneb med mix - It helps, but I would like to be able to get to to the bottom of this! Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I work through this with my medical team Thanks, Brian
