I Can't Stop
Coughing
Here we are on day 13. I woke up Friday morning, June 2nd feeling absolutely horrible. I went to my primary care physician that morning and was diagnosed with Chronic Bronchitis and and Ear Infection.
He had the nurse give me a HUGE shot of antibiotics that hurt like hell. The medicine was as thick as CoolWhip and burned like crazy. I had a knot on my rear for 4 days. Then he gave me 5 days of oral antibiotics.
I called on day 5 and said I was worse. He wrote me a prescription that I went and picked up the next day. I took it to the pharmacy last Friday and the little pharmacy out in TheCountry had to order the meds so I didn't get to pick it up until Saturday. I took the last one yesterday.
I am still coughing, coughing and coughing. I can't stop. Quite a few times I cough until I gag. I am also suffering the effects of other involuntary events that happen when I cough. My hands have been in a constant state of numbness for two weeks (thanks to my cerebral tonsil hanging out of skull and being compressed against my spinal column and brain stem every time I cough.)
I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow and get another appointment. I don't know what they can do now, but something has to give. I can't keep this up much longer.

do you have a dry hacking cough or are you actually coughing up mucous? A while back when I had a cough that wouldn't go away for anything I took Mucinex and it wiped it out quick! You have to drink a TON of water with it, but it will clear your lungs out like nobody's business! Hope you feel better! I hate chronic coughing (which I get lots around here in the toxic office) and especially the involuntary side effects.

Sorry to hear you're sick.
I've had a scratchy throat and cough for 3 days now.
I don't remember kissing you...wonder where I got it?!
Hope you feel better! Summer colds are the worst.
