Last night I slept so good and didn't wake up having a coughing fit. I think I'm going to skip going to the after hours clinic today. If it comes back again tonight I'll maybe go tomorrow. My new bed was delivered on Saturday and last night was my first really good sleep on it. It is a Sealy pillow top. I went from sleeping on a full futon to a nice firm queen. I'm so happy with it after this last night's sleep. I can't believe how high the bed is. It feels like I need a step stool to get in it. Not only did I get a new bed but also really nice new sheets and pillows. The difference is amazing.
It still has that new smell which is the biggest downfall. The top layer of the mattress is organic cotton but that does little to protect me from all the flame retardant chemicals they douse the bed in because some people can't refrain from smoking in bed and passing out with a lit cigarette! I took the down comforter (e:mike) got me last year for Xmas out of storage and am using that with the window cracked open because my apt gets so hot. I leave the humidifier running all night otherwise I get completely dried out from the inside out.
Now that I can sleep well I think my lungs will recover. I should go to the gym today rather than the clinic.

bronchitis? asthma? allergies?Since getting sick right after Xmas I have been waking up in the middle of the night with coughing fits. Last night I went to bed by 11pm and woke up around 1am coughing and started to have a hard time breathing. I think I have bronchitis or maybe asthma. This may be related also to my allergies which have been very bad lately with the latest box of timothy hay I got for my rabbit. A new kind of hay, orchard grass is due to be delivered today and I know that my allergies don't react that bad to this hay. This latest timothy hay I have even makes my arms break out when I touch it.
Tomorrow I plan on going to the afterhours clinic since it doesn't seem to be going away on its own. I hope they won't have to give me antibiotics or put me on an inhaler but if it will make me better, I'll take it. It is so weird that it only happens at night and I am almost completely fine during the day. When I got sick over Xmas it was different than I normally feel when sick. I had so much more mucuss than normal. There was one time I almost chocked on it.

In winter '05 I got sick and had symptoms like yours. Turned out I had a mild case of pneumonia. Going to get checked at the clinic is a good idea.

I would recommend getting a humidifier, too, if you don't have one. Dry air makes respiratory issues so much worse, and I bet it would help your recovery to have one.

that is so awful. it's blasphemy. The bible certainly never glorifies wealth. They should be offering you food, not wealth. lame
