One question Mike, What kind of purse do you carry.. hee hee. I use wal-mart butterscotch. I have been through the cough drop thing to.Just do what ya gotta do to make it.. Love & Prayers, Peggy Florida, IPF/UIP 2004"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet, when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." Yes, I tend to get raspy with coughing. Deep breathing only makes the coughing worse. The one thing that seems to help with coughing is the Target version of Halls cough drops. Those heavily mentholated ones. Now, please don't anyone tell me I shouldn't be using those! They are my constant companions in pocket, purse, on desk and anywhere I might find myself. The major problem is that too many of them get to my stomach, then requiring an antacid. I also sometimes use my albuterol inhaler and it seems to help for half an hour or more. Laughing out loud is a thing of the past unless I'm on a particularly wonderful streak of improvement. Not to worry though; those streaks never last very long.
