Sniffs, Sore Throat, Coughs and Full Blown Asthma

What a start to this new year.  Just the second week of January and I am down with cough with yucky green phlegm and tightness in the chest that is asthma.

I think this started with a sore throat on Wednesday that I dismissed and said this shall pass.  Well I was mistaken.  That sore throat in just a few hours became sneezes that led to a runny nose and bad cough.  I was like, huh?  That fast?  Must be the age factor (poor age factor) again.

I was too tired to go to work on Thursday and the meds given by the panel clinic dried up the runny nose but became a whopping cough!!  

I was off on Friday on account of helping out MrM's brother's kenduri.  I thought I was better, over exerted myself, ate all the wrong food, and by Saturday, this cough had led to a full blown asthma.

Today is Sunday 12th January and I am up to my neck with coughing the entire day.  I am wheezing badly by the standards of my age, which means very low tolerance to coughing and asthma.

In retrospect, this may be due to being caught in the rain a few times the first week of January and even latter part of December 2013.

I need to stay healthy, which means exercise and eating healthy.  But hey, that is another chapter on its own!
