I went through the cough from hell (Yes, the so-called "100 days cough") about 2 years ago. Not being able to sleep, coughing till you are breathless and retching...Ah, the good old days. So glad they are gone. I actually broke down and cried (soundlessly...actually making any kind of noise or effort made me cough again). My MD gave me cough syrup with codeine with 2 refills and TOLD me he expected me to take it every 4 hours round the clock for a week. Took that long to break the coughing cycle, but I still coughed with any exertion or talking. Literally 3 months till I didn't cough any more. <BR/><BR/>I made SURE my family's vaccines were UTD at that point.Maggie Rosethornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269369134208116782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206950351545432700.post-28089689465012672102008-06-08T03:11:00.000-06:002008-06-08T03:11:00.000-06:00That would explain my constant couging too.....wai...That would explain my constant couging too.....wait, I don't work with LOL's.

I agree with Sarah, some people were never taught to cover their mouths when they cough. People I work with call me a germaphobe, I clean off my COW(computer on wheels) thoroughly at the start of my shift, use alcohol gel or foam religiously, wash my hands a ton, wipe down the phone and desk area before I sit to do paperwork. I just see how many people touch stuff and you never know how clean their hands are. I think of all the patients I see use the bathroom or urinals and not clean their hands, then want to touch your hands, and think a coworker could have touch their hands and forgot to wash and then touched this desk where I'm gonna set my coffee. Okay, I guesss I do have issues! My point is, I feel your pain with the unrelenting cough and fear of some new plague! Hope you feel better soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206950351545432700.post-54812358293457167442008-06-06T23:43:00.000-06:002008-06-06T23:43:00.000-06:00OK, this WHOLE COMMENT THREAD is freaking me out. ...OK, this WHOLE COMMENT THREAD is freaking me out.
