I have been sick with cold/flu like symptoms for about 5 months now. The cough has eased off but I wake up sick every morning. We thought it was allergies and I do take a strong antihistamine every day however sometimes when I'm breathing I wheeze. So over it 🙄

I would get with an allergist, have them do testing and if anything comes back ask about allergy therapy (shots given/ made based on your allergies). I would get sinus infection that would become bronchitis and pneumonia every year starting in October running thru May for over 20 years. After 2 allergists and me fighting to find answers… I’m pretty much allergic to my environment once the house is shut up for winter. These shots have been a miracle. Good luck.

I should also mention if you’re on meds for AS like Cimzia, that will suppress your immune system.

I started an allergy therapy with weekly shots. After years of always being sick with sinus, allergies, pneumonia for months, this has so far stopped it.

Thanks so much. No I'm on anti inflammatory tablets.
