repetitivediaperwetter88 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Sucks. Have you tried any allergy meds? Link to comment
AbabeBill Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Oh! That was you making that wheezing sound. I couldn’t figure where it was coming from. ? But for real, I go through the very same. Even keeps me awake! ? I wake up wondering, what the hell is that noise? It might be mean, but for now we can call you Wheezer. ? 1 Link to comment
feralfreak Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 have you tried a neti pot? might need to flush out the sinuses Link to comment
WetDad Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 In western Washington we are just about done with tree & grass pollen season. Now the weed pollen will start up. Yippee. Link to comment
square_duck Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hmmmm. I had some wheezing when I was sick earlier, caused by junk in my lungs, congesion, and probably inflammation. I drank a lot of fliuds, took 4 advil tablets for any inflammation, coughed my brains out....and I am ( basically) fine. Also, supposedly grapefruit juice is good for helping get rid of junk in your lungs, it has some natural chemical that breaks stuff up and clears it out....helps you breath. The pink grapefruit juice it tastier, not sour like regular grapefruit juice..... Hope something in here helps, and you feel better ? Qwack Link to comment
DL-Boy Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 @square_duck, I hope you got tested for the virus when you got sick... That sounds like how it starts but it is reported to get better before the real dangerous $#it starts. Link to comment
Dubious Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 We still have snow, so I doubt many have problem with allergies 1 Link to comment

So no tests were available at the time, since they didn't even know it was here. Over all I am fine, it was basically like a bad cold or even the flu....but I'm still here? and it didn't kill me, even though I am kinda in the "danger zone" having just turned 60..... Ugh.? Thanks for the thought and concern......party on!? 2 Link to comment

I also use Fluticizone Nasal Spray and Saline Nasal Spry, as well as Xopenex and Symbicourt for my breathing difficulties. The Xopenex is the same thing as the Duoneb, so I use Either Xopenex OR Duoneb, followed by 2 Puffs twice a day of the Symbicourt Glad you are doing well - stay Well Hydrated Brian Link to comment

I stopped using it solely because I couldn't stand the smell. 1 Link to comment
Lilryan Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I know this pain all too well! Nothing ever seems to touch my allergies. Link to comment
square_duck Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I have found that saline nasal spray is truly a wonderful thing!! I have sinus issues as well...had many sinus infections also ( ugh! there is some fun for you....NOT!) And the saline spray helps a TON, plus it's basically natural...( Sea water..? ) and heck...if it is able to kill the Triffids....should be able to handle most anything else! ? Glad you'redoing ok Mike....stuff like that just makes one miserable.....? Qwack Link to comment

I've suffered many sinus infections over the years. It's not a pleasant experience. It got so bad at one point I was unable to sleep regularly - causing me to miss work, or nearly fall asleep while driving... bad stuff. Finally had surgery to alleviate it. Link to comment
