Will This Never End?

Monday I woke up feeling absolutely horrible! The bronchitis had definitely gotten worse. I also had a cold! My nose was congested and running and the coughing was the worst it's been since early January. In fact, I've never had such a bad case of bronchitis before.

I went to my asthma doc to get something to help with the cough. He put me on three more inhalers! I can't take prednisone (we didn't know that when he put me on it last August) because it causes terrible heart burn and because I have another medical condition that it could make worse. I was also put on a strong antibiotic because the cough had become quite productive, I started running a low temperature and the docs were afraid the bronchitis was on the verge of becoming pneumonia. I felt absolutely miserable all week and couldn't go in to work at all. Luckily, I can work from home.

Today I'm feeling much better, although I still have the productive cough, it just isn't quite as bad. I'm hoping that by the time I'm finished with the antibiotics I'll be able begin the C25K training. I hate having asthma and chronic bronchitis.

I just want to start running in the hopes of improving my health. Does anyone have any words or widom or even encouragement?

Still Sitting On The Sidelines

Well, its been a week since I watched the 5k run that got me motivated to begin the C25k training again. The problem is the bronchitis hasn't cleared up yet. In fact, it's getting worse. Besides the painful, productive coughing, I have a very noticable wheezing and rattling in my chest. It looks like I'm going back on the antibiotics and postponing the training for a while.

Will this crap ever clear up so I can start exercising to improve my health?
