I had asthma as a child, and it was much better in my 20's, but now it seems to be much more sensitive to illness, seasonal allergies, as well as other variables such as travel, weather changes, stress and what have you. But for the first time ever this week, after catching my husband's virus, I've been coughing to the point of vomiting. It hit over the holidays so there's been no good time to go to a doctor, but I hope to go tomorrow.
