Yep we still get colds. We just still have to be a bit more proactive about management. Instead of waiting the 10-14 days to see your dr make it 6 or 7.
The past week I've been layed up with a doozy. When I started to feel a bit better but still experienced lots of trouble breathing I saw my dr. The cold triggered an asthmatic exacerbation that didn't improve. My inhaler helped a bit but only temporarily. I'm now on steroids (lovely steroids, sleepless steroids, make me crabby steroids, ugh...steroids). Now, 7 hrs after the first dose I can walk across the room again.
I've missed reading your news but plan to get caught up in the next few days.
