So back in early June, I developed some sort of dry cough. It would come on suddenly with a tickly feeling in my throat. The end result would be minutes upon minutes of coughing. Followed by a relief for an hour or so. The same cough wakes me up at night.
Mid-June I got a pneumonia. At the time, I figured the preceding cough was just me getting sick.
Fast forward to now, and the darn cough persists. When I get an "attack" I cough to the point it causes me to vomit.
I have tried lemon and ginger tea, lozenges. Nothing seems to work. My lungs sound clear. Recent chest x-rays done in April were fine. When I went for that first visit at the clinic mid-July, my FVC was fine.
I have no idea whether this is MND related, my gag reflex or just an annoying cough. But any ideas as to what to try or insight is appreciated. This is wearing me out.
