I've been on immunosuppressants for crohns disease for the last four months so this is my first winter on them. A few days ago I developed a really chesty cough which has quickly turned into breathlessness walking (usually relatively fit!) and painful breathing that feels quite shallow.
It's rare for me to pick up a chesty cold but even when I have I've never felt this rough.
Could it just be that because my immune system is suppressed it's hit me harder than usual? Anyone else immunosuppressed? And does it take longer to get over than usual (know it's not been long for me yet I'm just curious!)
