Re: can't breathe--pulmonologist says its asthma, I think otherwise.

I quit smoking months ago. this is what really freaks me out--back when I was a very heavy smoker, I had a much easier time breathing. and then when I'd quit, just after a few days I'd feel like I was given a brand new set of super lungs. like every breath was so effortless and refreshing.

now, I feel like I'm being smothered. the doctor didn't give me another appointment until the end of october, and either way I don't have insurance right now. I went to the ER for it, and all they did was give me a chest x-ray and send me on my way with zithromax for bronchitis, which I clearly didn't end up having. or if I do, it's definitely not a bacterial form.

and yeah, I've thought about candida as well. I didn't really know that could affect breathing, but I literally have just about every single symptom of candida, especially "brain fog" that so many people report.
