So I had the super eager and thorough P.A. during my office visit today. I love it when they are fresh out of school and know more than their patients. I have been on this roller coaster for years and at least once a year I have a cold that turns into asthmatic bronchitis. So to me, if I am actually sick enough to go to the doctor, please believe me that I know the routine.
But no, we had to go through the lung x-rays to rule out pneumonia, cha-ching, then I got to sit through a breathing treatment, that actually helped, and then...wait for it...you guessed it, asthmatic bronchitis. Thank you for my antibiotic and no thank you to the steroids. I did not wish to pay $240 for them and I have my trusty inhaler if it gets really bad.
Sounds like a fun day:(
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! I have very similar health problems and I understand how a cold goes right into your lungs when you get sick. It's a good thing you went to the doctor right away. I hope you are better soon so that you can enjoy the weekend!
