I've slept in my LazyBoy the last six nights, cuz my lungs fill up every 90
minutes or so when I lay down, sending me into coughing fits that keep Mary
up all night.

Ask yr doc if an albuterol inhaler is indicated. I keep one around for
exercise-induced asthma, and it works wonders for softening coughs.

Sorry to hear it! I once got a sinus infection that manifested itself
as a head cold every time I got a chill etc (which of course included
every time I flew the Cub that winter) for a couple months. Then I was
about to fly to Colorado, so I went to the doc and whinged a bit. He
informed me that I had a sinus infection, prescribed a three-dollar
course of antibiotics, and voila! Cured. But it was an awful siege
while it lasted.
