I have now been fighting a bad cough for around ten months. The doctors have ruled out a number of possibilities but, they still don't know what is causing it. I'm currently on seven different prescription medications just to keep it under control enough that I can function. Please pray that they are able to determine a cause soon so that it can be properly treated. I have another test in a couple of days, and an appointment with yet another specialist next week. In spite of the joy of the season, I'm very depressed. What do I want for Christmas? To stop coughing.
