In 2016 I had an awful cough that lasted like 6 weeks and one of the Chief DDAs, whose office was across the hall from mine, eventually just told me to go to the doctor and get tested for walking pneumonia. The doctor diagnosed Reactive Airway and gave me a daily inhaler that worked like a charm. That was in the big gross old courthouse in Portland, where I assume I was reacting to something horrible in the walls like mold or asbestos, even though I've never been a particularly sensitive person.
Now in Rural America, I notice that I get congested and gooey-feeling when the wildfires are bad or in winter when woodstove smoke settles in the little valley where I live, so I start up using the inhaler again during the worst air weeks.
