I am really sick again. I was starting to get better, but I've now had a relapse. I've had this for almost a month and a half now.
I can't sleep at night because of the severe coughing and wheezing. Breathing is really difficult at times.
I've already been to the doctor, and she prescribed antibiotics and an inhaler. My condition improved somewhat immediately after I finished the antibiotics, but now I'm pretty much right back where I started. And the problem with the inhaler is that I'm only supposed to take a puff from it every 4 hours, and only 4 times a day. Unfortunately, I find that it's only effective for about an hour after I take it, so I am miserable for the remaining three hours. Also, 4 doses a day, every 4 hours, obviously does not cover 24 hours.
I have been doing some reading about this condition, and from what I understand, there's not even any point in going back to the doctor. Once I've taken antibiotics and it hasn't helped, there's nothing else they can do. I've just got to wait it out, I guess.
But I am feeling really bad and I'm downright scared at times when I'm having trouble getting my breath.
