Always getting sick

I'm sick again but what else is new?! I just get over a sinus infection that lasted over a month and required two different antibiotics. I was off of my antihistamine for 5 days for allergy skin testing so I didn't feel well. Even after going back on my antihistamine my sinuses bothered along with my ears and headaches almost daily. Not to mention my recurring joint pain/stiffness and muscle pain. Also digestive issues from my colon resection. Sunday, I started getting chest congestion, swelling in my upper chest, and some shortness of breath. I was also blowing my nose a lot. I think I have a cold which makes my asthma much worse. Yesterday I was really congested and wheezing badly. I had to use my nebulizer twice and use my rescue inhaler every 4 hours. Today I'm even worse coughing really hard which is making my chest and upper back even more sore. Chest is really tight! My voice is hoarse. I don't want to go on prednisone again. Still waiting for my pulmonary function testing, waiting to see the endocrinologist again, waiting for genetic testing for my cancer, waiting to see my ENT! Always waiting.

Sorry to hear your not feeling well.........do you drink a lot of water and take vitamin C it appears you have a lot of toxins in your body that you must flush out. I drink 8 to 10 16oz glasses of water daily in addition to 16 oz of orange juice.good luck..feel better

I drink lots of water and chew two vitamin C daily. I don\'t drink much orange juice because it\'s harder on my stomach.

I hope so or at least an early Christmas present of an appointment with my endocrinologist to go over my test results and my genetic counseling appointment.

My asthma is acting up. I\'m grieving deeply still and that doesn\'t help. I\'ve tried cold humidifier and it didn\'t help so I put the steam heated one on. I keep wheezing.

I hope your wheezing gets better Hollywood!*hugs* Steam makes me worse. I hope you can find something that will help.
