    Experiences with mullein leaf tincture for lung health?

    Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone here has used mullein leaf tincture (or any other variants of mullein) to manage secretions and general lung health. If you have, what effects did it have for you? My partner Jen is a PALS with a trach and has thick secretions (even when she's sufficiently...

    Looking for guidance

    I hate to bother each of you, but wondered if you had any insight. For the past couple of months I have had a Globus sensation, excessive bleaching, feeling like my belches are getting stuck, gurgling sound in throat, some regurgitation and the feeling of pills being stuck in my chest. I also...

    constant cough

    I have had a constant cough and throat clearing for 7 months now. It all started after I stopped taking Klonopin cold turkey. I had a baby and then started panicking over health related issues. I've had two clean EMGs. One on my legs and one on my arms. At the time I had lots of twitching...

    I’m really concerned

    Hello everyone , I’m new here and I have some questions that maybe you would be willing to answer or help ease my anxiety. So I’ve had muscle twitches all across my body for about 2/3 months now.

    Chunky Monkey

    I have started coughing up chunky stuff. I know I have scar tissue in my lungs from two bad bouts of pneumonia but I don't think that is what it is. I think it is clumps of semi dry mucus. Has anyone else seen this. It is pretty scary. Normally I cough up white slimy mucus but the...

    Pretty scared. Another EMG upcoming

    Hello, My story begins in January or February of this year. My left foot would fall asleep very quickly and that leg was numb. I'd had a previous dvt and high d-dimer, but no clot was found in that leg on Feb 1. I began to have long periods where my heart would race and pound hard for no...

    Coughing has almost stopped

    I researched the forum for information, but couldn't find anything specific to this topic. My coughing and choking started prior to my diagnosis last October. It was chronic. I have been using the cough assist machine since this past April. Over the last couple of weeks, my coughing has...

    Bulbar als?

    Reading through this forum I do feel a bit silly posting this, but thank you for anyone taking out any time to respond, it means more than you know. For about a month and a half I've been having issues swallowing. I swallow, and the food stops like partway down my throat, or at least some of it...

    Reflux or what?

    The last week or so my PALS would have some coughing after finishing a gravity tube feeding. It seemed as if some formula was coming up by reflux and causing him to cough. It was brief and would resolve. I made sure he was at 45 degrees at least while receiving a feeding and for 45 minutes...
