How to tell if it's an exacerbation

That was the survey question and I didn't see it came with any commentary options. So I will add this one.
I assume that every change is the beginning of an exacerbation until I can sense that it's not. At the moment, I am feeling good and by the time I hit the submit button, that could change.
We can't outrun the viruses that are in our world.
I wish I had the magic answer to this but I don't.
I will reaffirm that my decision to use a biologics remedy has been positive without condition, but a recent bout with bronchitis is an example of having to live in a world that is indifferent to us.
I won the day on that, and the next one is mine as well.

  1. Thank goodness you won that battle, . Thank you for taking the survey and for sharing your thoughts here. This kind of feedback is invaluable to us becase it helps us provide you with more targeted support and content. I will send a link to this forum post to the people who are managing the survey so they can read this. People always have to weigh the benefits against the risks when it comes to biologics. It sounds like you have done that and that you are confident in your decision. I hope you are won today as well and that you keep winning for a long time to come. Gentle hugs. - Lori (Team Member)

    1. Yep, won the day. Thanks.

  2. hello. You came to mind and I’ve been wondering how you are doing. You have such a good outlook, or should I say that you are a good fighter! Keep it up!

    1. I am adapting. A setback here and there but I have good doctors and good treatment. I think I will hang around a while longer. Getting some different inhalers. We shall see. Thanks for nudging me. -- John

      1. thanks for the smile! I like your plan to stay around longer John. Hopefully different inhalers help. It’s good that your doc is working with you. Let us know how they work for you.
        Breathe-easy!
