I visited my mom last weekend which is always nice. My sister came to visit to. Les is a nurse who has become a big believer in alternative medicine and has studied homeopathy. She has been able to help everyone in the family with various health issues, so she's taking a crack at my eternal coughing. I seem to have reached the end of what western/traditional medicine can do.
The difficulty with a cough is that it's a symptom of almost everything. The first remedy we are trying is drocera. It definitely changed the cough. I started proving the remedy so I stopped taking it and we're seeing where this takes me. I can actually laugh a little and not trigger a cough, which is an improvement. And it seems to be changing from a reactive cough to a tickle cough. I'm not sure if this is good, so we'll keep watching for a day or so. If this isn't the right remedy, we'll try spongia next. I've been reading about it and it sounds like the next best thing to try.
I found that I managed to loose another couple of pounds. It took a couple of weeks, but that's ok. I guess that means that I haven't reached the bottom after all which is good. I got into a pair of jeans today that I haven't been able to wear in a long time ... like over a year. They used to be the jeans that I wore all the time, so I'm pretty happy about that. I long time ago I was pretty unhappy with this size, now I'm delighted. I guess it's all a matter of perspective.
If I can loose a few more pounds and this cough, I'll be pretty pleased.
