Pregnancy Info HOME

I started out with a severe upper respiritory infection which led to chronic coughing.I've had this chronic cough since April of 2004!! I've been on every allergy, asthma, inhaler, acid reflux medication there is. The most annoying thing is every dr. or specialist I've been to can't figure it out. Ton's of mucous in my throat, & dr's. can't even figure out if it's coming from my lungs or sinuses. I've had chest x-rays; clear. CT scans; clear. Endiscopy down my throat to my stomach; clear. If these dr's can't cure something I feel is as simple as a cough, what good are they? And yes I smoke, & I know this sounds like denial, but I don't believe for 1 second this is caused by smoking. Is it impedeing my road to recovery? Sure, I guess. I just keep getting tossed from 1 doctor to the other, because none of them can figure it out & it's just simpler to refer me to someone else instead of just admitting, "I don't know how to help".
