My body is dumb.

[kseenaa]

Feeling loads better. I still sound weird when I breath, but I don't feel like I have to work for every breath anymore. YAY! I can actually breath properly! And without taking much meds.

I did go out on an errand today to pick up some meds, just to see how my breathing works outside. And it worked moderately well.

So, I decided to go to work tomorrow. And Mr P is kind enough to drive both Alexandra to daycare and me to work, so YAY! That will help enormously to make sure my breathing keeps behaving. :-)

It's interesting with me getting colds before I was pregnancy and after my pregnancy...

Before my pregnancy I got a cold, my nose was stuffed for a day or two, and then I got a HORRIBLY cough that would last a week... or more. And then that was it.

Then I got pregnant with Alexandra and my body got NUTS!!!

Not only did it decide that I should be sensitive/lightly allergic to... animals. AKA, my cats. YOU KIDDING!?!??!?!? I've been living with cats my ENTIRE LIFE!!! Anyhow, my own cats I can stand well, so that is good.

AND! When I get a cold it follows the same pattern as before. Stuffy nose a day ro two. Then a HORRIBLE cough. With an added bonus. I have a hrad time getting a proper breath and I rattle and wheeze with EVERY breath I take. Loudly. Fun. I varies how long this lasts. The cough lasts longer these days though. *sigh*

This time that rattling and wheezing has lasted long. Since Monday, actually. It's still there, but not as much. It was REALLY bad Tusday and yesterday. And I had such a trouble taking a good breath to. It was long ago it was this bad, to be honest. I woke up two nights in a row from coughing and wheezing. *SIGH*

Now though I 'just' have the cough and a bit of an ache in my troath. It doesn't rattle and wheeze that bad anymore. Mr P can't hear it that well now. He could before. Clearly.

Anyway. Work tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. :-)

Sounds to me like you might have asthma. Have you been to a doctor about it?

[orangerful]

Glad you are improving. Yeah, bodies are WEIRD. It is so strange how things shift and change over time. Very nice of Mr. P to drive you around. :)

I'm with Shapinglight, you might get checked for asthma.

Funny thing about pregnancy. You obviously know your body before you get pregnant, then everything goes haywire. After you give birth, things settle down some, but it's like so many things changed, you don't really know your body so well any longer. It was like that after both of my full-term pregnancies. I had to get used to a whole new me each time. So odd.

About 5 years ago, aka when Alexandra had just been born. :-P So It's been a couple of years ago. Also, she was an IDIOT! So I walked out before she'd done all the tests. :-P

[kseenaa]

Very weird. I knew things could change when you got pregnant, but hello!!! *lol*

[kseenaa]

I did get checked once but that doctor was an idiot, so I left before she'd done all the tests. :-P Just walked right out the door.

It was weird the year after Alexandra was born, just to get used to ME, you know? Well, you would. *LOL* You have way more kids than me.

[steinsgrrl]

Just the one more bio kid. I did have J's twin and a miscarriage early on, but I don't think the miscarried baby had time to change my hormones that much.

You might see if you can go to another doc and get checked? Better to be cautious, especially with asthma. <3

[kseenaa]

I have another appointment for another doc. :-) The first one has retired. YAY!
