The virus was never identified. It was suspected that it may have been a fungal infection caught in caves, called histoplasmosis because I had been in some caves just a couple days previous and another friend of mine caught a horrible virus after going into the same cave just days later than me. Test turned out to be negative, however, many of the symptoms were dead-on for that diagnosis. Was tested for whooping cough. Negative. I had a bout with bronchitis 2 years ago that took 10 weeks to get rid of. This happened after a Beastdrol cycle. Yeah, yeah, I should have known better, right? lol Lesson learned, though. But that was my first ever bronchitis episode. This is my second, and I am about 4 months into it now.
Good question about the smoking-- I never smoked. However, every time I go into the doc's office, they always ask again if I'm a smoker. lol. It's a dry hack in the upper chest. Some days I barely cough, but other days, I'm coughing all day. Most days, I'm coughing until about mid-day and then it improves at night.
