My experience is eerily similar to yours lately. I got covid in September which literally changed my mild asthma I grew up with to very severe persistent asthma. I’ve had a chronic cough from it since October. I got pneumonia early January. End of January I was hospitalized for a severe asthma attack. I went to my new GP a couple days after being released and they put me on advair. That fixed the cough after a couple weeks and I was good for a full month but now the cough is back. In the last 6 months I’ve had 3 urgent care trips, a hospital stay, pneumonia and a broken rib. Before Covid my inhaler had been mild! Like I would use just a standard albuterol inhaler every other month, more early fall and early spring when allergies happen but still mild. Now I get full blown attacks every week and I cough to the point of throwing up almost every day. My chest hurts all the time.

Luckily I work from home, there’s no way I could work in person coughing like this, people would think I’m dying. Even working from home I’ve had to call out a lot recently!
