    Been trying to remember my password for the last few days, I’ve given up so new account.

    Found out I have asthma today and that’s the reason for my cough that just won’t let up. I didn’t know you could develop it as an adult? What a nice Christmas present.

      It could be due to bad asthma thunderstorms, which have been happening recently. Might want to get yourself a ventolin puffer just in case

        Doc prescribed me both a preventative puffer to take for the next couple weeks and the normal blue one. I just had the blue puffer earlier and I feel like I can breathe again! And barely any cough. I didn’t realise how constricted my breathing was until now.

        Hoping this is seasonal and will be gone once pollen season is over 🤞

          I hope so too, my cat has asthma attacks and allergies plus I’ve been having a bit of it as well.

          Wearing masks can apparently help filter out some of the pollen which helps. I’ve been keeping a door cracked (screen locked) for fresh air but may need to stop doing that. And will have to check if aircons pulling in pollen from outside is a myth
