So. Coming up on Month #3 of Mystery Illness.One course of antibiotics done at Week 4. Now on Round II of steroids (the high-intensity blast had some effect, but petered out immediately) Now on a 5 week titration. Mixing in Mucinex DM and the OTC cough syrup so I can maybe sleep. I have a puffer (with a special chamber: Medi-Bong) that I hit several times a day.
Basically, lungs are junked-up after a massive sinus infection (which stole my ability to smell/taste for about 3 weeks, but all in order for Xmas dinner). Tested negative for Covid twice, lungs x-rayed twice for pneumonia (negative). Current theory, something triggered old asthma reflex, so lung inflammation makes mucus, coughing to get rid of mucus inflames lungs, etc.
So, I get a bit winded on stairs or walking up hills. Can still do the stabby. My energy levels are back up to +/- 85%, I guess. The ‘roids fuck with my mood, though.
That’s what’s up.
