Today I called the allergist to ask for some more cough medicine with hydrocodone in it. It's the only thing that stops the cough, no
exceptions.

Geez Comf, I always know what you are talking about. I've just started on Becotide inhaler because my supply of Ticarda tablets and oops - just checked my fridge and the remaining bottle of syrup doesn't have the name on it. A n y w a y ... I get these wonder potions from my doc in Hong Kong. It's not available in Australia any more. It's brilliant at stopping me barking till I dry reach and then repeat the same all nite, most of the day, all nite, etc etc until a week or two later when I come right. You are correct - nothing touches it accept a narcotic - which used correctly and with respect is brilliant.

:::f course, that's classed as a narcotic, so they're really wary of giving it out. Well, they gave me the standard runaround
and never called the scrip in.

Try what I did with my mothers doctor. He refused to give her sleeping pills, and I asked him how it is that kids aged 10 and upwards have easy access and availablity to prescription pills - and if they see fit they completely abuse drugs. What is wrong with giving a mature person with hypertension a script that won't be abused - just let the poor old sod get some sleep. It worked. I'd moralise the hell out of a doctor here if I knew that there was something available that actually stopped me coughing. So instead I'm inhaling steriods - and yes they work. But something tells me that the occasional narcotic is less harmful!
