Hey everyone,
So this is gonna sound weird (cause it is :]) but has anybody ever had a cold with no symptoms except fatigue and flared asthma? Just this winter i started getting colds like that, no runny nose, sneezing, soar throat, just fatigue and asthma. It's pretty annoying cause my asthma kinda grounds me but it usually only last about 1 1/2 weeks. But does anybody have any idea what the deal is?

Fatigue and flared asthma doesn't sound like a cold. Fatigue can be caused from a number of things; depression, dehydration, improper diet, lack of exercise, or it could be caused from the asthma itself. When breathing is made difficult by asthma it can cause fatigue definitely. Maybe your problem is just asthma or any of these things. Do you have allergies? Let me know what you think your problem is caused by.

well the thing is is that i never get asthma so bad unless i have a cold like this(colds are my biggest and most serious trigger, i also have allergies but they are controllable and mild), so thats why i think i have a cold. Also i had another like this that did go away after a couple of weeks. These all started after i began taking singulair, im off it now, but what happened was i took it, got this mysterious illness, stopped taking it and got better, but then began again for another trial (cause all else aside it was a good reliever for me) but i got sick again so i stopped and the mystery illness isn't leaving me this time.
