Bronchitis

[fruity]

I know my thread will probably be moved to my main threads but it’s getting me down. I’ve got bronchitis. And I’m so weak I can’t hardly do the school run. I’ve had to take time off work. But coming back from school run not long back. I was so out off breath and realy weak. I’ve been realy weak for 3-4 months now. Was told had viral infection. Now told bronchitis and got antibiotics. Anyone had it and what is it or what was it like for you.

Yes, and you need to rest. Are you still taking your antibiotics?

[fruity]

Yes my third day. Feel miserable

Fruity,

I have asthma and I'm (almost) guaranteed a bout of bronchitis during the winter. It's unpleasant and can certainly drain you. Unfortunately, there isn't much to be done apart from the usual rest/plenty of fluids/abx if bacterial suspected etc.

However, I do see you've had quite an "extensive" post history on here - are you taking any measures to deal with your anxiety?

Good luck

[fruity]

To be fair my anxiety only pipes up when I’m ill nowadays.

[fruity]

I’m still so weak and drained fatigued

My daughter had it 2 years ago, right over christmas.
She was weak, very tired, no appetite at all and quite miserable.
I'm not saying this to scare you, but rather to let you know that it's what bronchitis is so how you are feeling is normal for someone with bronchitis.
Get as much rest and fluids as is possible for you - I know this can be hard as life around you has to go on.
Try to eat little bits and make sure it's good healthy wholesome food if you can.
It takes a bit of time to fully recover from it but you will get there - this will pass....
Take care...

Brokengirl. Thank you. Your words mean a lot. And I do feel realy miserable it’s gettin me down

[fruity]

I have a bit of yellowing of the skin my face mainly. I have had before when being ill but it’s scary

[Scass]

Being ill is scary when you have anxiety. You’ll be better soon, but if you still feel the same after your antibiotics course has finished then maybe you should go back.
