Did I forget to mention 6 fractured ribs, from coughing so hard?
HA!
I’ve had environmental allergies since I was a teenager but just lived with the symptoms of sneezing, itchy red eyes, coughing, post nasal drip, laryngitis, and so on. When I was 32, 20+ years a go, I had a bout of coughing so bad that I actually broke my ribs like you! That’s when I went to an allergist to determine exactly what was causing my problems. Oh those dreadful tests showed I was allergic to almost all trees, grasses, pollen, all sorts of animals, and molds. Pretty much I’m allergic to something all year around. I started taking allergy shots every week to desensitize me, and for the most part it worked great! I can now control my allergies with OTC medicines. The one prescription I do take is on an as needed basis, and that is Tessalon Perles for my cough. Nothing else solves my cough problem except for that wonderful medication. It truly is a miracle drug for me! I sound just like Hillary when my coughs flare up, so I know hers could be allergies. I just think hers has more to do with Parkinson’s.
