Hi faerie
Yes I do suffer in this weather too. As soon as I go in from the damp/cold I'm coughing and some people say ""hope I don't get your cold"". I tell them they won't catch what I've got. Like you I seem to be coughing on a permanent basis and it really tires me out. Am awaiting the results of a chest x ray cos of the cough. People are full of cold at work and I have had a really rough 12-18 months with my asthma and I really don't want any more time off work since I've had a fair bit this year so I am really hoping I don't catch what they have. Oh well.
Anyway take care of yourself.
Hiya,
good luck with the results of your chest xrays and i sincerely hope you stay clear of those cold germs!
take good care!
Hello,annoyingly I find that on any 2 days both equally wet and having taken the same medication both days ,I will be sick and coughing one day and perfectly fine the next-just one of the many annoying things about asthma .

Just got back on Sunday from 2 weeks in Florida where it was mid 80s everyday to this damp depressing weather. Annoying because in 2 weeks in Florida I did not need my ventolin inhaler at all. Since being back I'm needing it several times a day. Maybe we should all just emmigrate to warmer climates! Hope you feel better soon! I find a quick 3 minute sunbed from time to time makes me feel a whole lot better about winter - the warm air in them helps me a lot with my breathing - it might work for you too?
