Thanks man. The new inhaler has finally helped me feel like things are under control (Advair), but I'm still coughing regularly and my chest is heavy. It's hard to know what % is asthma-related and what might not be, but I feel like I've leveled out by day 5 here. I'm mainly cold, weak and achy, with little appetite, but more than tolerable. The feverish symptoms subsided by the start of day 3, so I think it'll be uptrend from now on as long as my chest cooperates.

Ironically, people have it (if it's what I have) far worse when asthma is involved, so while this has sucked and been uneasy, I'm able to breath on my own. I continue to watch and listen closely, and constantly rest to allow my body to keep fighting.
