March already ... birthdays galore this month. March around the Pacific Northwest is mild ... rainy though ... usually a lot of it!

Hope everyone has a peaceful day.

Well, the news was okay from the ob/gyn ... said that it is probably the coughing that is aggravating as yet unhealed fractured or pinching nerves.

I see a specialist in the physiatry dept next week ... guess they are the ones who will have more answers. Meanwhile, I just will move slowly and stay on pain killers till then.

Glad I could inspire you Sophie ... I too have learned much from researching. And you just sometimes have to take a chance with an item if it's not too spendy ... you never know just what you might find.

I don't know how it got to be Wednesday so fast. This week is flying by me in a drug induced haze. I don't know which end is up. At least I see light at the end of the tunnel.

Oh my here I am in for another drug induced haze ... I am taking 10 different pills at a time. Fighting asthma flare, pelvic pain, cough ... it's not good.

Sorry to hear you going thru all that. Everything here in Central Texas is blooming and I do struggle with seasonal asthma. Been take the steroid pak and Allegra to keep me out of emergency room this spring. I understand the haze feeling you write about. I take a lot of muscle relaxer for paralyzed limbs and I get in a fog feeling, mostly morning. The wx here this time of year is very warm some days and cool others. We seem to play this temperature roller coaster till it's just plain hot.

I have had asthma since I was 45 ... and am considered Severe Persitent Asthma compounded by COPD. When I get a flare ... I can wind up on steroids for a month or more ... the longest I had to endure was nine months. I suffer from so many side effects from prednisone yet need it to breathe. A miracle and a curse.

One of the amazing results of my moving here to Arkansas and quitting smoking is I no longer have outdoor allergies. The dumbest thing I ever did was start smoking and the smartest thing I ever did was to quit. It's been 18 months smoke free!

Congratulations on your 18 months of non smoking. When I quit this last time ... my daughter would not believe I was really quit till I had gone six months ... she said then she would believe that I was a non smoker. I jokingly told her I should get a metal then at six months ... well, her and my daughter in law did just that ... got me an engraved metal with the date I had become a non smoker of six months.

Well, as if I wasn't on enough drugs already ... I now have an antibiotic and cough suppressant pill to add to my regime. I really feel like a zombie. I look at my handful of pills in the morning and at night and wonder how do they all know where to go or what to do and how not to interfere with one another. Sure will be glad when I just get back to my maintenance meds.

On a sunnier, more positive note ... my youngest son called me yesterday. They are pregnant ... due in Aug and are going to have .........................................a GIRL! They are ever so excited ... they already have a nearly three year old boy. Woo-hoo a granddaughter! I can't wait!

The last time I quit smoking, it was 3 years...so I have another year and a half before I'm definitely quit. Actually, that's not true. My best friend is a heavy smoker and I have absolutely no desire to ask her for a cigarette. Quite the contrary...I can't believe how bad she smells from the smoke. And to think that's how I used to smell. YUK!

It sounds to me like you are already a nonsmoker. Keep up the good work!

I think so...I'm trying not to be one of those obnoxious ones that coughs and tells smokers they should quit. I do keep my mouth shut but I can't help the coughing!
