:::: 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.

Cripes!!! Sorry to harp on with the exchange of ailments but... hey, we're fun people the rest of the time, aren't we? :-/

I don't think your cough is the same as mine. Mine is an irritaton of the lining of the trachea - or lungs. It's like asthma, and can occur after a throat infection, cold or a being around cat fur too much. I think the medicine I get in HK is physeptone linctus. But Ticarda is brilliant too. My daughter has suffered allergic coughing since baby hood and we've had some nightmareish times with her with it. That's how I found out about Ticarda. One thing I found when she was little was the over the counter cough syrups can actually make you worse. eg benadryl. A quack told me that they can add to the allergic affect. I noticed this to be true with my daughter particularly.

Anyway Comf, when I was young I promised myself I wouldn't let myself go to fat and flab. It's all very well to make rash promises when it's easy to be trim tort and terrific - but these days I'm wondering why bother to fight the inevitable!

Marilyn. ps tell the quack exactly what you told me about being responsible enough to be given something to treat your cough. Also I'd advise asking point blank why he's hedging on giving you something that will actaully work - any fool can order you something that will do jack!
