Nervous - Day 6 and hopeful

Well, I have been having some serious coughing issues over the last month or so and they have gotten worse since no smoking.  Went to doc today who said bronchitis and treatment steroids and inhaler.  I go coo-coooo on oral steroids, so I’m anxious.  However I need to get this coughing under control.  Figure this is a good test to see how I use the tools I have and the support of this group to get through the next 6 days on steroids. Fortunately my doctor understands my problem and has me starting day 1 at half the regular medral dose and self regulating from there depending on how my brain responds.  I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate you all.
