thinking good thoughts

Got to tell you, I had near-constant bronchitis from last Thanksgiving through May, relieved only by a couple of bouts with pneumonia.

Turned out I was deathly allergic to cleaning products, especially those containing ammonia (i.e. standard Windex and others) or bleach.

When I'd start to feel a little better, I'd clean house and relapse. I am not a clean freak. A little goes a long way, and a little whiff of ammonia, or bleach fumes, and I wake up with severe bronchitis.

Could you be reacting to something in your environment, that's making this thing hang on?

Also, look into probiotics, to help keep the antibiotics from pulling down your immune system. Yogurt with live cultures helps too.

*hugs*

sorry about all the unsolicited advice
