Can I just say, and I'm just being honest...

Still feeling shitty. Good to know I have friends who actually care and were concerned enough to ask.

Has the medication not kicked in yet?!
With me, those things usually work well after a few hours...

Not yet. The doctor said two days at the most. My chest and ribs hurt from coughing so much. Thank you for asking

You can loosen up your stuffy nose if you breathe in some steam. Hold your head over a pot of boiling water and breathe slowly through your nose. But be careful. Don't let the heat burn your nose.

You can also get some relief with a humidifier in your bedroom. Also try to take in some moisture from a hot shower with the door closed.

CIJS - you are an idiot. It's your job to *provide* IT services to your fellow employees, not prevent them. When I say "I need this to do my job" don't fucking argue with me as to whether or not I really need it. You're in no position to even know now that - you aren't remotely qualified to do my job. Don't motherfucking tell me that the information I need is in the application logs - I wrote the goddamned application and I fucking know what is, and what isn't in it. So drop the territorial bullshit and give me what I asked for. If you won't, why do we even need you?

Agree with this. Last night I got made to sit in a hot bath to loosen up my chest because of asthma. Do it until the water isn't hot anymore, then do it again. Breathe in deeply and out in a controlled manner as much as possible. If you start to cough, assess what it's doing. Coughing up phlegm? Good. That's productive.

Also...I know you already know, but quit smoking. Every time you get sick it's going to be like this. I have chronic bronchitis because of a lifetime of untreated asthma and I can only imagine that it's worse when caused by smoking. Sometimes it feels like I'm drowning in my own mucus. Definitely quit smoking.

I'm trying...it's so hard with all the stress I'm under right now. I have cut way back though. I went from a pack down to about 8 a day. So that's a start.
