runny nose again
I had to visit the doctor for my recurring cough. Her initial finding: post nasal drip is causing your cough. My rhinitis is making me gaggle therefore I cough. Anyway, she asked me to have my chest X-rayed just to err on the safe side. Makes me wonder how doctors have come to treat X-ray like a routine diagnostic tool.
They’ll hand out the result tomorrow and so I shall wait in limbo for now. Nothing I can do about it. I want to think that I feel great but I don’t. I can barely breathe at night and I keep having this headaches. I won’t be surprised if I infect everyone at home.
I have been having these perennial COLDS all my life. It’s the one thing that keeps me from keeping house – I cannot sweep the floor, fold the sheets and laundry without sneezing. Our family doctor said that I inherited it from my family. He even named all my cousins, uncles and aunts who have the same debility as I do… with the idea of comforting me with the fact that I do not suffer alone but with the rest of the family. And now my kids are showing the same sign. Oh-uh!
