✓ Days 3-7: You'll cough more than usual. Thick dark mucus coming up. That's not a bad sign. That's the buildup finally shifting. What inhalers never got to.
✓ Days 8-14: That heavy tight feeling in your chest starts lifting. The brain fog starts clearing too.
✓ Weeks 3-4: Sleeping through the night. Waking up without that morning coughing fit. Walking up stairs without stopping at the top.
✓ Weeks 5-8: Barely touching the inhaler. Running around with the grandkids for the first time in years. Finally feeling like yourself again.
