Bill's cold -bG,

[Guest guest]

bG,

Thanks for the reply. In all fairness

to our doctor I have to say that I could not have given him much info

at my first visit as my condition was about the same as previous

visits to him prior to my finding CS three years ago. (No

problems since then till now.) Those visits were usually followed by

hospital and pneumonia. At this visit I did not know enough to wonder

about cause and effect. He just ordered x-rays of chest and sinuses

plus stool and sputum samples. By the time results came back, all

tests were negative, I suspect the result of Godzilla and CS. But my

cough and congestion were still about the same. That's when I got

curious and started looking for clues.

However, I agree that later he may not

have gone into detail about possible causes or environment, tho it

may not be fair to judge him as I didn't return for another visit. I

don't really know what he would have done. He just referred me to a

pulmonologist for detailed examination of my lungs rather than

question why my tests were all negative. He is a highly respected

doctor here and we like him very much. He knows about my use of CS,

used to laugh about it but lately says nothing. I suspect he has now

read up on CS. I haven't said anything about Godzilla.

I was seeing improvement daily, except

that I have been unable to sleep on either side or my back. That

would start a tickle, then a coughing spell. Out of curiosity I made

an appointment to see the pulmonologist next Tuesday. Last night,

after sending the above report to you and going to bed, I finally

found I could lay on my side with little coughing. Finally got a good

night's sleep BUT I woke up congested and coughing again! Today I

have been using Godzilla and CS. We'll see what gives tomorrow!Bill
