Typical head cold for almost two weeks. Hacking cough these past 4 days.
Would you run, especially given these very cold temps?

No!

Unless I have a fever or can't breathe, running usually makes me feel better. So I would probably run easy.
-
Yes.
-
I wouldn't. But mine is in the head and the chest and I have a fever.
If it weren't so bitterly cold outside, I might take a short walk.
-
It would depend on how I feel.
If I'm at the stage of feeling really tired and rundown, running seems to advance whatever I'm battling.
If I'm mostly over it, I'm fine.
I've had a hacking cough for like 3 weeks. I took about 11 days off running and then went back to it. When I'm running, I don't cough. So, I'd just give it a go.

I cough almost constantly when i run in the winter . Its pretty unpleasant.

This, though admittedly my motivation is down.

Do you take any long lasting controlling medication for your asthma?

I threw in the towel. Hacking away when I paused and just no.energy

Nope. Dr will only prescribe inhaled steroids.

Have you discussed singulair with your doctor?

For me, it would depend on how bad the cough is. I have to be careful if I run w/ a cough due to my asthma.........but usually I'm OK if I run slowly enough. That said, if even a slow pace feels bad, I'll bag the run.

Yes. Running always makes me feel better, no matter how rotten I may feel before the run.

It can be hard to get covered by insurance, depending on the policy, especially for allergies and not all the time asthma (like exercise -induced, or irritant induced). But with it being in generic now, that might be getting easier.
I am really surprised that MM's doc won't work with her more on controlling her asthma. Just because it "only" acts up from exercise and irritants and weather and every time she gets a cold, it is seriously interfering with her day to day life. It sounds like it bothers her almost every day. That's seems like it's crying out for more daily management, not once in a while solutions.

Yeah, the no-energy thing is what gets me. That usually results in an AWFUL run and feeling 10000x worse the next day.

Me too. MM, you have Kaiser Permanente, right? You should use their own damn commercials to get what you need. Tell them you're trying to exercise and you're NOT thriving.
And I agree with Uncle Fred. I would also throw in that if you have a fever, stay in bed. I have also found that when my head is stuffed up, running doesn't hurt and often helps. Otherwise, forget it.

I just made yet another Dr appointment.
