MDJunction to me

carmen33"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here.

Hi Everybody, I went back to the doctor today. Told her the antibiotics fixed thr infection but I have a dry wheezy cough. Well, no surprise, only one remedy for that.....the dreaded PREDNISONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will be a short burst, 30mg for 2 days, then 20 for 2 days, then 10, 5, 2, 1 and finish. Waiting till the morning to start, else I'll be awake all night...just one of the things it does to me!

Enjoy your Monday!

Venus can you get nyquil in S Africa or some other cough med.

Prednisone seem a bit much for a whezzy cough.

When I was a kid honey,lemon and whisky worked pretty good.

Sue did you finally start taking you nystatin like a big girl?

Did 20min on the recumbent bike and 20min on the arm bike. Then later fixed the awning over the patio. Not bad for FEV1of 18%.

No Applause Please!

I am sure glad that you ladies a feeling better.

Some times I really get sad about Ya'lls situations.

As you go though make this your goal

Watch the Doughnut and not the hole!!

Oh cmore, you're a poet and you don't know it!LOL

Unfortunately it is more than just a cough, the wheezing is due to constricted airways and cough mixture not much good for that. Doctor not sure if it's cold air that's the culprit. Also have a small elephant sitting on my chest ;+], I only panic when his momma joins him!!!

You can also ask your wife about us older ladies and fits of coughing.....we land up with wet feet!

Have a good day, you put me to shame when it comes to exercising!
