The Joys of Bronchitis

My Current State 

Have you ever heard anyone say, "I hope you get bronchituis"? Yeah, me neither. I think people know it is just so awful, they do not wish it upon anyone. If you are wondering what bronchituis is and why it is so miserable, let me just share with you the joys of it.

1. It is the common cold...your typical runny/snuffy nose, sore throat, headache, tiredness that you get with any sickness. So that in itself sounds exciting! Paired with that, you...

2. Have a cough. A cough by itself, isn't terrible. Really, you can deal with it. But a cough that sounds like you are a cow dying of lung cancer...now that is really fun. It is even better when you have to hold your sternum because it hurts to much, or your head, because it shakes your head you get a headache. This picture is a perfect visual image of how I look everytime I cough...and sadly...I do look like Rudolph the red nose reindeer, just like this poor man in the image.


3. Have you ever wondered what Bronchitis really looks like? Yeah, me neither, but it will be a good education for both myself and for you. This is the disgusting image of what is really going on in a person's body who has bronchitis aka me. The likelihood of you getting bronchitis is increased if you have any kind of athsma...that includes sports induced athsma-lucky me!
Now if that doesn't excite you enough, let me get to the punch line! It lasts 4-6 weeks!! Ohhhh and did I mention there is no cure or antiboitics for bronchitis, because it is a virus? So watch out, the virus is probally lurking under your bed just waiting to get you!

Doesn't this image almost bring you to tears? Just look at the face of the poor little girl for a few minutes and feel the compassion inside of you seep out.
Think of me when you see this image. The little girl in me looks just like this.

On a final note, whoever invented this is a genius! I might have to try this soon.

Until Next Time,
