Hi ...is the cough getting any better yet? I hope you get the

rest your body needs. I am thankful I am not working anymore, since

May of 2006. But I also miss working. It kept my mind very busy and

made me feel more useful. I was a paralegal for 22 years. I have

worked in the legal field since high school graduation and through

college. I was very respected in my field and feel so diminished

since I left, however, I can't imagine going to work on those days

when I get very little sleep - usually because of the cough. I know

my productivity at work suffered because of my lethargic disposition

at times.

I first starting asking for drugs for the cough following a coughing

spell which produced two broken ribs! It was so painful, and I ended

up with pneumonia because I couldn't expectorate properly. And I was

hospitalized for 5 days. Prior to that, I think my doctor was afraid

I was hooked on " pain " meds and, maybe he thought I wanted to be the

local drug dealer....but I didn't care at that point. Thereafter, I

plainly asked him to prescribe the narcotics for me on an ongoing

basis so I could have it available at any time I needed it. And, to

my surprise, he prescribed it just like I asked. Thankfully, my

pulmonologist is well aware of the PF symptoms, especially the

cough. I do not abuse the meds, but I certainly use them when

necessary.

God Bless,
