spring time crappiness

[ej0820]

ok, so do any of you guys start feeling super crappy when it's spring time? I mean, the humidity just drives me nuts. My lungs feel like they're so inflamed that I hit the albuterol like crazy. The thing is, I feel so crappy but nothing is ever really wrong. I end up going to the doc every spring complaining about a dramatically increased cough (with close to no production), shortness of breath, back and chest tightness, etc. and the conclusion is always that it's not my cf and I don't have a new bug or anything...so then what is it??? I've been tested for allergies and the only thing I'm allergic to is dust (which would be more affected in winter, not spring). I don't know what to do, b/c it makes me feel oh so yucky and every year it feels worse. Anyone experience this?

i go through the same thing. last year i was sick for a month. at one point I had a fever of 104, they were giving me meds and changing them. finaly it went away, but they never knew what it was. the last couple weeks i was feeling off and went to the doc, same thing. i think i do have some alergies, but that souldn't give me a fever i don't think? Anyway, yeah it happens to me to.

This has been happening to me too! Every spring, actually right around now I start to feel bad. I spit up blood, tired, and coughing up brown or green mucus. It happen last year too! But last year was worse and I was on the verge of a "tune up". I am a once a year "tune up" gal. But this past week I have been feeling yucky. Do not have any energy to work out, coughing up brownish green stuff, very tired, sleeping late. I am really discouraged. I work out 4- 5 times a week and take care of myself and do the vest, flutter and all the nebs and it is like a roller coaster sometimes in terms of how I feel. One minute great and the next week yuk! Okay I am venting....sorry! AND blood sugars have been high after dinner!!!!!

Mine started last year. If I had it previous to that it wasnt enough for me to notice it. I am just finishing up a round of iv's from this years episode. My doctor said many of her patients are having a hard time in the Spring with no "real" allergies. There has to be a connection even if its more of an asmthatic connection which seems to be my case.

I know the change in weather always gets me too. I don't really know why but when it starts to warm up I feel like hell!
