Subject: Happy (cough, cough) New Year

Happy New Year to everyone!
I have coughed my way into another year. The asthma is fine- no wheezes, rattles , or infection; the coughing is driving me crazy! I talked to my dr yesterday; told him about the cough which- I'm not allowed to do. Told him that I was taking tussalon pearls and lidocane in my nebulizer but I was still coughing. He put me on hydrocodone cough syrup and suggested prednisone as a last resort. I reminded him (nicely) that steroids were why I was in this mess in the first place. There are no other options for treatment of a cough. My coughing fits have put me in ICU with bleeding lungs and damaged my trachea. My discomfort and sob isn't in the lungs- it's in the trach. I'm supposed to go back to work tomarrow after missing a week because of the move. Maybe when they hear me talk,(my voice is an octave lower and raspy) they will realize I wasn't shirking my duties. I'm at my wits end does anyone have any other ideas?
