??? I posted an answer to this once... I wonder where it went? That's the third time I've noticed that happening. Too weird. Anyway, what I said was something like...

Believe me when I say, they have exhausted their resources on me. My boss had the same thing back in the spring; we went to the doctor a week apart. They gave him a steroid shot, and *poof*, his was gone for good. They have given me three steroid shots, steroid inhalers, steroid pills, bronchodilators, other inhalers, something-inhibitors, Singulair, Claritin, Claritin-D, over-the-counter cough medicines, and I eat benadryl like candy.

The benadryl makes my sinus drainage back off a little, which usually helps somewhat with the severity of the coughing. Other than that, out of everything they've tried, nothing has even lessened the coughing, much less stopped it. Except the hydrocodone.

I have hunted and shot target practice with guns, and with bow and arrows. I build things with wood. I use tablesaws, radial saws, jigsaws, skilsaws, planers, jointers, and other tools with sharp exposed edges that will take off a finger or an arm in a millisecond. I drive on Dallas and Houston freeways during going-home traffic. I walk through graveyards at midnight alone.

I'm a full-grown man. I know how to handle dangerous things. If they don't give me this cough syrup today, I am seriously considering seeing a lawyer and filing a malpractice suit. Not that I would even win it; it's the principle of the thing.

Or, maybe I just need to calm down, huh? LOL
