Mishap, sorry to hear that you have hit a low again. Just remember, you came out of it before, you will again. Get out in the fresh air and sun, does a world of good.
Did you watch the program about your medicine cabinet ?. Best treatment for chesty cough was hot honey/lemon.

Sorry Lona I seem to have replicated your adviceblush

Just be good to yourself Mishap If sleep is what you need then sleep is what you must have. Don't push yourself too hard, that could be counterproductive. Worrying about your DD isn't going to help,but we can't stop you doing that!!

I agree with Liz, sleep is a great healer. It's not always the best thing to push yourself too hard.
Rest a little more and be extra kind to yourself flowers

Mishap, I'm so sorry to hear that you feel so bad. I wonder, if you feel like sleeping, perhaps you should. If you are trying to recover from bronchitis, maybe you shouldn't push yourself too much.

I have had bronchitis and it is not much fun. I am normally unable to sleep during the day but when I had pneumonia a few years ago, I went to bed after lunch every day and slept all afternoon.

Well - here it is again - my old friend back to haunt me. I have done pretty well for several weeks, and then I got bronchitis and I cannot seem to shake it off - it has really brought me down. I have been coughing for about 4 weeks; and the last 2 days I have been low and weepy again, following a migraine on Thursday night.

I do everything I can to fight it - I get up and shower and go for walks in a sort of fog; when what I really want to do is be asleep.

It seems that it is not going to leave me be, and any small thing that reduces my strength gives it the chance to get back in again. Not a good day today.
