Avatar f tn To give a little background info on myself, I'm a 19 year old female and have been sick since december. In december i developed a really bad cough that i got from a friend so i guess the cause must've been from a virus or something. The cough lasted over a month and i also had mucus and a stuffed nose. Prior to this I've rarely gotten sick in my whole life and never had a cough which is why i thought it was so strange that i had a cough for over a month.
Avatar m tn My girlfriend has 3 dogs, 1 of which is a female blue heeler (Tyler) about 4-5 years old. Tyler started developing a cough in mid-August, 2013. She has been coughing for the past 6 months. The 2 other dogs are in perfect health and have not developed a cough. I have outlined below the steps that have occurred during the past 6 months. - Month 1 - Normal coughing with a foamy white substance coming up after cough. She eats grass. She was prescribed antibiotics and small strength of steroids.
Avatar f tn Only a handful of people here know that I've actually been sick since Monday. I've been sick with the weirdest thing I've ever been sick with.
Avatar f tn So.. I've been dealing with some other health issues, cysts in my thyroid gland, myoclonic jerks and twitching (the latter might just be BFS). But I've noticed over the past couple of months that I've been coughing a lot. I didn't feel sick at first. Then om holiday, I felt really bad, with vomitting and so on, and coughed frequently. I got better, didn't went away completely, then came back a few weeks ago. Got better, now beginning to worsen again.
Avatar m tn Hello. I'm 18 years old and I've been coughing continuously for about a year. The cough has changed a lot since it started, and now It seems to be entirely due to to mucus build up around my lungs. The cough is stronger before I sleep through when I wake up or when it wakes me up (when it is the worst). At times, the mucus coughed out is either thick and yellow (but not much is coughed out) or it is clear and runny but is coughed out in half a mouthfuls.
Avatar m tn so I've been coughing up black coffee grounds for a few years, I've seen at least 5+different doctors that have not been any help, the only thing 1 doctor told me was to try to stop smoking,I've smoked cigs since I was 17,so I quit cigs for 6 months with no change and saw the doctor again and he wasn't able to tell me anything.I cough the stuff up at least 10 times every 18 mins, sometimes more. Does anyone else experience this?Also can anyone provide insight to this?
Avatar f tn Ok. So for the past two weeks I have taken pills three times for pain that I just could not stand anymore. I haven't taken more than 10 mgs at a time allowing no less than 72 hours between doses. I have no problems after taking the pills--no cravings or anything. Am I playing with fire? I think I know the answer, but I think this is my way of confessing out of guilt, but I am also afraid. can we take pills for pain and not be dependent or addicted.
Avatar f tn t seem to care. I just want to prepare myself for if they take the baby for the one time use of xanax and I don't know if my doctor will tell me if Ill lose my child or not.
Avatar n tn Has anyone experienced a really bad cough.I'm not sick and I don't smoke or anything.I am 21 weeks now,but I've been having this deep smokers cough every scene I've been pregnant.can anyone relate?
Avatar f tn at first doc told me to stay completely silent for 2 weeks (hard work) with no improvement, now he is sending me for a camera to check the area out. Any ideas on what they will be lookin for. I'm quite nervous and don't know what to expect, I woulld be grateful for any advice.
644988 tn?1236364548 Not sure how much I can help on the medication front...we avoided it like the plague. Thankfully my son didn't have rages, I think he internalises that. Your story sounds familiar and I'd say you've done well to crack the diagnosis so quickly; though it won't have felt quick. As for the school not knowing what you're talking about...I've got the T shirt. We only managed to have the diagnosis confirmed by taking a video of son at home to the specialist.
Avatar f tn I ended up going to a cvs care clinic once the coughing hit and she said robittussein dm for the coughing, tylenol for the headache and benadryl if i felt stuffy and sleep. It helped until the cough got bad and then she prescribed me tesalon perles? She was pregnant and said she has used them to help with the coughing too.
4838207 tn?1363917730 I've noticed that I have been coughing now that I'm pregnant. Is this normal or should I be worried?
Avatar f tn So, for 3 months now, I've been coughing. Sometimes a lot, and sometimes, like right now, I just get random tickles in my troat with results in coughing. I've had chest pain before within these 3 months, but it went away. Now it's back, and it's a bid odd. Sometimes it's a burning sensation with over the counter meds for acid reflux can take care of, and sometimes it's random tightness/sharp stings both medial and lateral on my chest. Especially when bending over.
Avatar n tn I have been fighting what the DR are calling a viral infection for two weeks with only minor relief. This all started with me feeling dizzy on a Sunday morning, then Monday I felt the some exact way. Well Tuesday I woke with a very, very sore throat that I put off as just dry air. Then Wednesday I woke up feeling no better and went to the nurse practitioner who ran a strep test which came back negative.
Avatar m tn I'm coughing and choking on whatever is in my throat sometimes I an move it by coughing and blowing my nose even though it comes back seconds after I'm also wrenching in between coughing, I've start choking and passing out I'm so scared I Carnot eat anything are drink anything without coughing and choking I have to sleep sat up on settee and that's after been awake for days with coughing Ian no quality of life at all I hate being alive its that bad!
Avatar f tn Hi, I’m a 28 year old female and have been suffering from these cold-like symptoms for over 3 weeks. Hoping someone can help me figure out what’s wrong and maybe some options I might have.
923105 tn?1341827649 I'm so sorry to hear of all the misery and sadness you are having to endure. My condolences on all of your losses. As for your neuro, you're better off without him. My opinion is that Tysabri should be a last choice option due to the potential side effects. I don't know the specifics of your disease but if it were me I would want the opportunity to try another DMD before Tysabri as well.

572651 tn?1530999357 LauraLu, you have been a Godsend to me and many others through the past several years as I've been wandering through the maze that is modern medicine. May God continue to bless you and yours, as well as bring much fruit from your ongoing efforts.
Avatar f tn I had to discontinue all treatment at 10 weeks. Basically, the treatment was killing me, literally. I tested UND at 4 weeks and have been doing everything right with the meds. At about week 8, it was getting more and more difficult to get food to stay down, to the point where when I took my Incivik, sometimes it took twice before food stayed down in order to take it.
