Something to think about. I remember many times Drs saying this!

I got bronchitis around 5 years ago now. Since I have asthma the bronchitis stuck around for 5 weeks and caused a host of other problems. I have fully recovered, and since then I've been exercising more to train my lungs, so my breathing is doing better for the most part.
My breathing only gets worse in moldy/musty/dusty areas, but surprisingly having covid didn't cause any respiratory problems. I had a dry ticklish cough for maybe 2 weeks but it was 100x easier than when I had bronchitis, just to give you a reference for how bad that part of my life was. I had to go to the emergency room 4 separate times, I nearly suffocated in my sleep, I got colds and the flu from my weakened immune system which then resulted in mucus from my nasal passages getting stuck in my ear canals and getting infected, giving me an ear infection for another 2 weeks during Christmas, making my poor hearing due to tinnitus even worse for a few months.
It's all completely healed now but that part of my life was complete agony. I couldn't remember what it felt like to be healthy. When I got covid I thought it was a walk in the park compared to that. That's how tame covid truly is, even for somebody like me who has had breathing problems all her life.
Damn, it sounds like you've been through hell and back - I'm glad you're OK! You probably already tried this, but in case you haven't, I have found it helps to have one of those humidifiers that have a little cup at the top (like from Vick's) where they want you to pour their medicine, but instead I use eucalyptus essential oil and run that all night while I sleep to breathe it in. It helps so much - if you haven't tried that, I highly recommend it. Also I use distilled/filtered or spring water in the humidifier so I'm not breathing in all the chemicals they put in tap water.
At the time it certainly felt like hell! I thought for the briefest moment that death might have been a better alternative. I wasn't suicidal, but I could understand for one small moment why some people take their lives when all they know is bodily pain. I do not condone suicide though, since I believe taking your own life is rejecting the greatest gift God has given you.
The worst part about getting sick for that long was that I was in my senior year at college. I missed 2 FULL weeks of classes, the most I've ever missed in my life, and had to do a lot of catch-up afterward. It was a very stressful time because I was also preparing my senior art show exhibits and also managing my Youtube channel. It was crazy.
I used to use humidifiers, not so much anymore since I've been okay these last 5 years.
Wow, that is intense!
I've been researching nebulizing as a vector and protocol for improved lung function/treatment plus administration of natural compounds (or some meds). Do you have any experience with this by chance?
Yes, when I had bronchitis I was prescribed to use a nebulizer. It definitely helped clear out my lungs and made it easier to breathe, but it's also a type of steroid (like my regular inhaler) so it made me jittery and prevented me from sleeping. It has its purpose and it did help, but long term it wouldn't have helped much since I would have been losing sleep.
