It's official here...we are sick.
Not all of us, Thank The Lord for sure, but what started as allergies with me has settled down good and tight into my chest mostly.
I certainly appreciate my head being clear considering how totally stuffed I was just a couple days ago, but oh my does my chest just ache now.
I'm barely getting any sleep, my chest feels as though I was carrying a 200# weight on it. It's a cough-fest just waiting to happen all day and night.
I will probably have to break down and visit the doctor tomorrow. I can't breathe without going into coughing fits. I can tell my BP is up while coughing--I just about pass out during the fits as I simply cannot get my breath caught.
And life just doesn't move on around here when Momma is sick :o( Johanna is trying to help but she just doesn't have the 'command' of the household and siblings that Jennifer has. I'll have time to be sick next week -- Jennifer comes home Thursday.
I would certainly covet any prayers, as well as thoughts on what I might try. I have a ton of 'band aid cures' from the pharmacy and they are useless, of course. The Claritin knocked out the stuffed sinuses, but now what? I can see this easily progressing into pneumonia if it keeps up.
I'm not a good sick patient.

I use a hot pack for comfort on my chest and a vaporizer to help me breathe deeper without coughing as much. Sure hope it helps you too.
You poor thing!
My hubby had bronchitis a few weeks ago and we ended up needing to use conventional meds. Lots of Vicks Vap-o Rub for the chest and Thera-flu for chest congestion. After looking at every single product I found that one had the most expectorant out of all of them, even the much higher priced Mucinex!
Hope you get to feeling better soon...
Prayers coming your way. I hope you feel better. Take care of yourself.
