67 YO, HIV+ 29 years, my #s are very good, still do weights & cardio, eat well, etc. But I started cycling and I get sick afterwards, with a persistent bad cough and colds for the last six months! Don’t want to quit cuz I prefer it to running.

  1. Hi . I know I wrote earlier concerning the cycling, but I wasn't aware of the cough. I know that my wife, Kelly, who is on immunosuppressive medication for a severe form of an autoimmune condition has been struggling with a cough for several months this year, even though, like you, she has remained active with her exercise. She was diagnosed with bronchitis and treated, but is having a hard time shaking it. I'm not saying that this is your issue, only a doctor can do the proper diagnostics, but want to share the thought. Hoping you can get some relief. Best, Richard (Team Member)

    1. Richard, you are such a love. Right now, that bit of thoughtful commiseration warmed my cockles. Ty!
