Hello, from a Starsailor, lost, Some may know me as Serenem! Options

[StarsailorLost]

Hello and good tidings! I've just been invited here by JustDaniel, and old poetry friend of mine. Thank you, Daniel! Some may remember me from other forums as Serenem, or as Melinda, or as StarsailorLost. I don't have a constant internet connection, but I look forward to posting as often as I can and to becoming a part of this community. I love free verse, work very hard at it and look forward to a workshop atmosphere. I try to give as good as get, or more. I occasionally do more structured forms, but I am a novice to the extreme-- unless we're discussing haiku, which I absolutely adore.

Well, that's a start, anyway!

I look forward to getting to know all of you, and your poetry, very well!

OMG Melinda!

I am glad you are back home and are on the upswing!

I have pollen allergies (but not asthma) too and I've been dealing with a very NASTY chest "virus" for 4 weeks now and still going. It's mostly in the chest now but it kicked up my sinuses too over the past 2+ weeks and I thought it was allergies but it is a virus, supposedly. My PCP will not prescribe an antibiotic because I have no fever. He added an Abuterol inhaler (like you I presume) to help with the breathing and I was also on Prednisone all last week. While my head cold has mostly subsided, the chest thing has not. I wonder if it is what you have as well?

I am usually very healthy and never have a cold for more than a few days. This is just horrid! I am so sick of taking the stuff I am at present: Zyrtek and Flonase plus I was taking Musinex Max for 14 days (just stopped) and Aleve for pain with an earache. SIGH

I don't mean to complain - I hope you are feeling better every day!

Perhaps we should challenge each other to write about it?
