Is everyone still having these sympthoms

[Carlg]

I see these comments are from 2006. I am currently having many of these same problems. Tickle in throat, sharp pain, cough, tears, nose dripping. This has been happening for the past 5 months. I've been to a ENT. He said it was my tonsils. I had them out. At first while I was on meds during my recovery from the surgery the symptoms stopped. But after I stopped taking the pain killers anti-biotic and the steroids the tickle came back. I've been taking Previcid for acid reflux but this has not stopped the attacks. Does anyone have any current information on this?


This discussion is related to Tickle in throat makes me cough and choke.

Mine has become fairly constant, none of the breaks I used to get and very disturbed sleep. Does the amitriptyline help during the day as well and does it affect your ability to drive etc.

So far the amitriptyline seems to be working. My attacks have been reduced greatly. I can now sleep most of the night with only slight attacks

Craig,
Are you still doing well?

I have been terrified for the past seven years thinking that I had contracted a horrible disease that expressed itself through my chronic coughing fits. I don't have anything close to a solution but I found some relief using Mucinex-DM (600 MG) only. The downside is that I cannot take more than 4 tablets in a 24 hour period, but at least, it gets the job done. My coughing is suppressed for about 6 hours after dose, way less than the 12 hours rated by the manufacturer. Of course, that means I still fall short of a full nights sleep being forced awake just when REM sleep kicks in. However, the mere knowledge that I am not alone is relief enough if only to affirm that "misery loves company".  Wishing everyone the best outcome in our perennial search for a permanent solution.

I take 25mg. It seems to be helping. I am not having as manly attacks as before. I'm able to sleep thru the night now
