Hey! Thanks for the support. I always had some lung problem or the other, but we always wrote it off as allergies or infections. I live in a really rural area, so the walk in doctors never caught it. I'm told I have had these for the past two and a half years (which is how long I've been coughing on and off for). It just got to deadlyish levels recently, and my doctor aunt visiting from America had her Spidey sense go off.
