Dear Debora,

I'm sorry to read you caught a bug and were laid up sick with an infection. Its good to know you had excellent treatment and have recovered. You are one very strong woman.

Its wonderful to hear that you are getting such encouraging results from the chemo treatment and I hope and pray this continues with the radiotherapy.

You remain in my prayers
God Bless
ton.

I can`t stand this caugh!

I can`t stand this caugh!

Thank you folks! But does anyone have any idea of what could be giving me such an annoying cough though? That`s kind of spoiling things for me as it`s there on and off. I get that tickle in my chest and start caughing, specially if I`m talking. Sometimes it comes so strong that I feel like I`m going to throw up and it`s putting me off my food too. It`s also very embarassing. Yesterday Joe and I went to the coast for the afternoon and I just kept caughing. I`ve written more details about it in my second post on this thread. Please, any suggestions will be welcome.

Debora, at the risk of making an idiot of myself with this suggestion, I wondered could your heart problem be causing the cough ???

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Debra-

There are some heart medications that cause annoying coughing. What meds are you on?

My medication

My medication

I`m currently taking propranolol 40 mg which I`ve been taking for years, amoxicillin 500 mg 3 tims a day, furosemide 40 mg twice a day, calcium carbonate 1.25g 3 times a day, milk of magnesia liquid 3 times a day until tomorrow and i was also taking medication for my potassium which was very low for a while. While in hospital i was also on this IV antibiotic called gint something, but I can`t rememeber the name. The caugh seems to calm down when I`m quiet and it doesn`t keep me awake during the night.
Thank you.

I think the antibiotic you mean is gentamicin (sp??).

That`s the name! And I forgot to mention that I`m also on levothyroxine 50mcg.
