Opposite anecdote: For done reason about 10 years ago my asthma that had just been a minor nuisance and didn’t stop me from running, teaching fitness classes part time, etc. for a decade, sent me to the hospital and kept me coughing for nearly a year.

The doctors and specialists gave me every treatment under the son to no avail.

Then I did my own research and read I should try OTC psuedophredrine. It worked like a charm. Now every time I catch a cold (and when I got Covid), I pop psuedophredrine for a few days and I am good.

Yes, psuedophredrine is suggested to treat Covid if you have virus induced asthma.

Second anecdote: I have relatively mild cerebral palsy. As I’ve gotten older, my affected foot tightens up especially in the winter. My neurologist said it was physical and not neurological. I went on vacation and was drinking more alcohol than I usual do. I noticed I was walking without pain. I did my research when I got home and found a prescription muscle relaxant with the fewest side effects and ask my doctor about it. He prescribed it to me.

He didn’t bother telling me that I should get blood work done to check for liver problems. I had to bring it up to him.

I can now walk without pain and run when properly conditioned.
