Re: If I cough one more time . . .

Terri -

I had pneumonia for a few weeks when I was first post-op. And, went

to the doctor yesterday and have an upper respiratory infection.

Both times, the ONLY thing I could get to work for my cough was

Tussionex. It is prescription only -- but works WONDERS for letting

you have a good night's sleep. It is a narcotic, so there are strict

dispensing laws -- but its the best for coughs. Hope you're feeling

better soon and Brynn, nice to see you and glad you're feeling better.
