So an update on my medical condition. My vocal cords are structurally fine. However, the therapist that did my testing thinks that maybe from all the years of having the post nasal drip and cough that maybe I have a little bit of this going on. My ENT dr says I have so many things going on simultaneously that it's hard to pinpoint ONE thing that is causing my cough. He also said we would "be friends" for a while. Ha. So I am currently on 2 allergy nasal sprays, 2 allergy pills and 1 acid reflux pill. On top of the nasal rinse I do. This is almost a full time job. In about a week I will start allergy drops. It's the equivalent of allergy shots except I get to do them at home. In talking with two ladies in the waiting room of the dr's office they both said they dramatically improved after they started their allergy shots. So I'm really hoping the drops help!
I have spent hundreds of dollars on dr visits, tests and medications in the past 6 weeks. Ugh, something has to help! But I am thankful that I found a dr that is in this with me! The last time I tried to get help for my cough I had a dr that put me on a allergy nasal spray and sent me on my way. It didn't seem he was very interested in finding the root cause. Hopefully I'm getting closer!
