Well you know this cough thing I've got going on is truly getting the better of me.  I don't get frustrated with stuff like this that easily but come on here it's been 2 months now.  Please give me a break & move on to someone else.  I've got people that need my attention, including those here on DS & things I'd like to do, gee whiz. I've only got one more antibiotic left & maybe another wk on the inhaler, the bad news here being I'm still hacking & coughing my fool head off.  If there's been any improvement I'd say maybe 25%.  So I don't know, I hate to bother my dr again as they're always too busy as it is & there's way more serious illness then mine I guess but I don't know what else to do so I guess next week I'll be back on the phone to him.   My main concern is it having an affect on me thru my Lupus & my overall wellbeing. Also, it's the 3rd week after my hubby's dr appt & we still haven't heard fr the radiation oncologist.  I phoned the dr's office & they said they'd send a 2nd request to the oncologists office so I guess I'm still waiting on this also. So I guess now that I've vented I can regroup & proceed on with daily life. To all my friends, I love you dearly & thank you for being avail when I've needed it.
