breathing is not over rated!

July 12th, 2007 at 03:01 pm

Believe me I am hoving enough trouble doing it consistently so I know. I am sleeping sitting up and only have a love seat to do it on (I'm over 6 ft tall) and even that is better than trying to lie down. The coughing fits are not pretty. Most people cringe when around. I am almost drowning out my DH coughing (he's been doing it since May) I hope they figure out a way to cure the two of us real soon.

    Have you seen your doctor about this. My mom (who is a retired physician) had what she thought was a bad cough for about 3 months. It just would not go away and was waking her up with coughing fits. Turns out the cough was a side effect of a new medication her doctor had put her on (cannot remember for what - sorry) and she did not know coughing was one of the possible side effects. After she mentioned it to the doctor, they switched the medication and lo and behold, no more coughing fits.

    Uht-oh. Why are you two coughing so? Is it related to the work you are doing or having done in your house? If so, you know you oughtn't be staying there. Is it pneumonia? Bronchitis?

    He has a very serious bronchitus and I have pneumonia. Both of us are on antibiotics for this (him for the 3rd round) but isn't helping much. Nothing in the house, his started in GA. Thanks

    Two things that have helped me when I've had pneumonia are tesslon pearls (perscription) and Fisherman's Friend losenges (which taste foul but really work). I know how hard it can be. One time when I had pneumonia the coughing was so bad that I had to go to the hospital and they gave me a muscle relaxant and painkiller combo that finally did the trick. Hope you get through this soon.
