I don't think I've ever gotten a legit, all out, gross wet coughing cold in the summer before.  This summer, I've gotten two, one of which turned into bronchitis that made me miserable and unable to ride my bike for a month.  Currently I can't take a deep breath and every time I try to speak, I end up coughing chunks instead.  It's gross, and ( Read more... )

As there's nothing I can do personally to make anything better, I'm finding myself reading the paper all day, listening to NPR constantly, and pehraps worst of all, watching the evening news. I'm in such a heightened state of anxiety that I don't even know what to do ( Read more... )
