Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I got through the asthma flare up with albuterol and atrovent without alot of problems; then the coughing started. It keeps going and going and going.......It really stinks because I'm not allowed to cough. Coughing and steroids has damaged my trachea so that it collapses when I exhale. My drs have me on tussalon pearls, lidocane in my nebulizer, and they added hycodan yesterday afternoon. I'm still coughing! My dr went so far as to mention trying the evil candy- until I remined him that was what caused the problem in the first place. It's really weird ... there is no wheezing,infection or rattles in my lungs, all of the s.o.b. and discomfort is in the trach. It's too bad Xolair doesn't work on that too. This isn't my idea of how to start the new year- but it could be much worse. Happy New Year! becki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
