Get rest! (and listen to your mom!) Once or twice a year, I usually end up going to the doctor because I've been coughing for a month. Every time, the doctors are stumped. I don't have any other symptoms other than coughing. I feel perfectly fine (other than annoyed with my coughing). I'm usually treated for bronchitis, and it works. Take care!! My sympathy! Get rest! (and listen to your mom!)

Still, glad you got it checked out. Once upon a time, my mom was visiting me when I was interning in DC. She had this nasty cough that wouldn't go away. I told her a couple times it didn't sound good and she should get it checked out. By the time she left, I was really annoyed that she wasn't taking care of herself. She ended up not making it all the way home, but instead had to stop off and be seen in the ER in Minnesota. It was quite an insurance headache. They diagnosed her with walking pneumonia (aka what killed Jim Henson). When she made it back, the family doc told her she could either get three large, unpleasant and pricey ($300ish) shots or be hospitalized for 3-5 days. Just a good reminder to get things checked out in a reasonable amount of time. (When insurance isn't acting up.) Yeah, my limit would have been 3 weeks, though maybe longer given the insurance snafu.

Coughing for 41 days before seeing a doctor must be a record. Pneumonia is serious... No kidding. Did you also have a fever along with the cough? Please do take better care of yourself. Neglected health issues almost always take a turn for worse things. Ouch! Coughing for 41 days before seeing a doctor must be a record. Pneumonia is serious… No kidding.

Can you two wait until I at least get home so that I can help??? And why you always have to wait before you finally give in and go to the doctor is beyond me. Even if you had a health care card... you still would have taken your own sweet time, admit it. Well.... I'm glad that you finally broke down and went. Now... could you please at least stay in bed until I get home? Love, mom Why is it that when I go out of town, you finally decide to go to the doctor and gramps ends up in the hospital?

Last year at this time my son was diagnosed with asthma but only after a trip to the ER which had a $350.00 copay, but he was admitted to ICU, which had a BIGGER copay. My point is, take care of your health and forget about the $ or it will escalate into something bigger. :) I feel for you.
