Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hello all...., They said this is full blown bronchitis of course made more complicated by my NSIP form of PF. I'm on day 6 of the antibiotics and only today beginning to feel a tad less miserable. The fever is gone but the cough is bad and the ribs and abdominal muscles really hurt. The heating pad does help when I'm awake...can't use it for sleeping! I have lost my sense of taste completely!!!It's truly weird! It has to be the antibiotics, because I always use Nasonex and of course I've been on Prednisone since DX. Just not as much! Funny too, I'm sleepy during the day even on the 60mgs! Has to be the extra med and the infection itself. However sleeping at night still needs Lunesta! I'm doing nothing...jut sitting around and watching the NCAA "March Madness Basketball", So far we're cheering on Villanova...only local team to make it into the Sweet Sixteen..Temple already lost! Talking is most difficult...it makes the coughing really bad...so I'm not talking! Mike is answering the phone. I just reread this and it's rambling...sorry that's one of the Prednisone side-effects I hate the most..the cognitive ones! Have a good Sunday. Z fibriotic NSIP/05 Z 65, fibriotic NSIP/05/PA And “mild” PH/10/07 and Reynaud’s too!! No, NSIP was not self-inflicted…I never smoked! Potter, reader,carousel lover and MomMom to Darah and Sara “I’m gonna be iron like a lion in Zion” Bob Marley Vinca Minor-periwinkle is my flower Jane wrote: Z. I think I have what you have been dealing with. I found out that I have a virus that is going around. One of my friends told me her adult son (who is in the army) is getting over it and the cough is the last thing to get rid of. His cough is lingering on and on. Plus, he lost his appetite and it hasn't come back yet. My cough has loosen up a lot and I really do sound as if I am "Barking" (that is what Peggy told me today)I suppose my dog Max is letting me do the "barking" for him. I have been on anitbiotics for 48 hrs. I am counting on tomorrow to feel better even though I will still be at home. All I want to do is sleep and I haven't taken any thing for drowsy-ness. Toodles!

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 , It sounds like you're starting to mend just a bit. I wonder if losing your taste is from the higher dose of prednisone. I never had that problem on the high doses but I know others have. Of course it could just be the antibiotic or a combination of everything. Hopefully it will pass quickly. Just keep resting and looking after yourself. We're all thinking of you!
