Illness

[Julie8]

Hi everyone, just getting over I think a bronchitis type of illness. I have had it 2.5 weeks and had a slight temperature most of that time. Had to use my steroid asthma pump and ventolin to be able to cough.

This is new for me, I usually take a week to get over colds and coughs.

Is it to do with my liver cirrhosis. Can I expect this prolonged illness each time.

I get those same symptoms all the time. I know its Lupus but even though my tests are positive my doc refuses to diagnose me. We have a toxic relationship. Yes, I've had a slight fever and chest pain for over a week. Sores inside my mouth so bad I couldn't eat. do you have similar symptoms? Also I sleep most of the time. I don't know what it is but yes, I've had this trouble several times. Lupus or ????

My friend has had lupus for years and when she gets flare ups she gets very poorly. Mine was a virus I caught off my grandson but with having the scirrosis, I’m wondering if it’s normal to suffer for longer on what should be a weeks illness.
