Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi all, making great progress at last with my mega dose of antibiotic and inhaled steroid. Has a very bad night last Saturday when I had a terrible pain in my ribs, at one point I was doubled over with it. Think I must have pulled something with the coughing. Anyway that has eased and I'm starting to feel there is a little chink of light at the end of this tunnel. Interested to hear other people use Airwaves, I'm a big fan of that and also Halls Menthalyptus sweets. I have bags of those in my bag, my car, by my bed, everywhere. If I'm having a coughing fit those help more than my Ventolin! Probably end up with rotting teeth but...? Cheryl thank you for dealing with the spammer, I knew as soon as I saw it there was something wrong, even I know you can't cure this disease. So cruel to put something like that on here, wonder where he came from? With regard to supplements I have not tried Zinc but I have restarted Ginseng which I find brilliant when I am low physically and emotionally. I take it for 4 weeks and then stop so my body doesn't get over used to it. Have also started Gingko(increases blood supply to the lungs and body) and Lyprinol(Green lipped mussel!) in the hope that these might strengthen my lungs. My family laugh over my box of drugs, it's huge now. I'm even mastering the art of coughing up, so I feel I'm now a fully paid up member of the Bronchiectasis family! Love to all June in London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
