Guest guest Posted August 18, 1998 Report Share Posted August 18, 1998 Dear Donovan and Painpals, I may be nutz but just gotta share something with you. Y'all have read my posts for the past two weeks about the bronchospasms and constant hacking which finally resulted in my throat closing up when the spasms hit and having to fight to get a breath. I called the Doc and his nurse advised that they were calling in some Amoxycillian (which usually just gives me yeast infection and diahrreah) and ordered throat culture. As a last ditch effort I had some Oxycodone left over from bladder surgery. I took one of those, and although I very seldom take cough medicine, I had a sample packet (3tsp) of Vicks 8 hr cough relief and I took that. The coughing stopped...miraculously...within an hour, and that was yesterday morning. Slept like a log last night, and just finished mopping my kitchen floor!! I am wondering if it is possible to get stuck in bronchospasms...can the brain's cough reflex center get " turned on " and just need to be " turned off " ??? Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? That's what my mind is telling me. I had no other symptoms of infection such as fever or anything...just the body wracking coughing that just would not let up! I know this may sound a little on the crazy side, but we are allowed aren't we? Any thoughts from any of you...esp. you Donovan???
