I've just come down with my first cold post diagnosed, bulbar onset. Last night I couldn't lie down because of coughing, choking, and gasping for breath. I spent the night sitting up, a good thing this forum doesn't have live camera or I would scare you all. Does anyone have any suggestions, medication, tea, scotch?:smile:
 
I'd say get to a doctor. My GP insists on seeing me at the first signs of a cold. He doesn't want it getting into my lungs. If you can't get in til Mon. a decongestant might help.

Thanks, Al. I'll try the decongestant and hopefully see my doctor Monday.
 
What about going to the emergency room? This would seem to be reasonable, considering your diagnosis?
 
I think if tonight is like last night I'll do that. Thanks.

So how did your night pass, Marianne? I hope you are more comfortable! Cindy
 
Hello Cindy,

Yes it was better. I got some Therflu liquid for chest congestion and cough and it is helping. Thanks for the support, ALS is scary.
