SatinKitty Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Re: The cranky thread Having an asthmatic cough sux. It never goes completely away. Since I have a cold it will probably be bad for several months after. I can't even lie down. If you have any home remedies, I'm all ears.

Since I have a cold it will probably be bad for several months after. I can't even lie down. If you have any home remedies, I'm all ears. If asthmatic coughs are anything like regular coughs, a couple of tablespoons of honey have been shown to help. It seems to work on me, even though I can't stand the taste. It's no miracle cure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but more often they space it out so as to press my buttons right when I've just calmed down from the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's found some French Vanilla flavored tea that honey mixes with to create a very soothing, mellow flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinKitty Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Re: The cranky thread Yes, I like hot tea with honey. We have some Earl Grey which is good. I'll have to look for French Vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Re: The cranky thread My wife is at her grandfather's funeral today. The trip, as well as the ceremony (Catholic wedding ... lots of stand-sit-kneel-sit-kneel-stand) would have been very hard on me, so I couldn't go. I feel terrible about it. I should be there. I should be there to hold her and give her the emotional support I'm supposed to, but my body won't let me. I feel so incredibly, horribly useless.

Useless is when you are able to go, yet you selfishly decide not to, anyway. Yes, the timing stinks, but you are not useless, nor a horrid person, because you are sick and cannot travel. It is not right, or fair, to hold it against a person for not doing a thing they are unable to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're sick. Just as an FYI, though, if you're at a Catholic ceremony and you don't want to do the stand-sit-kneel dance, you really don't have to. My grandfather was probably the most devout Catholic I've ever met. He went to church every single day. But towards the end of his life, his knees and back couldn't take all the kneeling and standing. He still attended mass, but he did it sitting down. I seriously doubt that anyone cared that much -- and if they did, f' em. f' em right in the ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Re: The cranky thread I don't think anyone can fault you for being sick, CC. That whole sit-kneel-stand thing really can be hard on the body. My condolences to your wife, and prayers for her grandfather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually it will go back to just a dry cough again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
