And...

I wasn't kidding about the nails. The nail lady asked me 2 times if I was sure. I'm thinking she really wasn't.

The doctor today was really shocked when I said that benzonatate really worked and fast for me every single time. I take it for coughing and it stops the coughing in minutes. He said he does not remember the last time someone reported its working for them. I allowed as how it could be working ONLY psychosomatically. He very quickly said "I doubt that but either way, if it works, GREAT!" no kidding.

Plus, I'm pretty sure belleweather she said she used benzonatate and it worked for her, too.

So maybe we're the only two. Matters not to me. That shit works.

I ordered a Misfit Flash. It will be here tomorrow. 20 minutes of walking will commence. But I'm not doing it without fun tech.

LOVE the nails! So glad the medication is helping.

I've been considering a Misfit too! I'm interested to see what you think of it. You are so good at product reviews ;)

it's not just you

benzonatate works for me, too, with the worst coughs. bonus: no codeine (which often figures into meds with pronounced coughing)

Re: it's not just you

That is wild! When I go back, I'm going to have to tell him he has the wrong patients. I have found the benzonatate fan club!

And yes on the no codeine PLUS it's not some disgusting tasting thing you have to drink. Win win win

I LOVE the color. Excellent choice. Go bold I say.

I don't know what a Misfit is, off to google it, don't want to miss out. Hooray for meds that work and cheerful fingernails!

Add me to the list of people that medication works for. I was prescribed it a few years ago and nothing's ever worked better on my coughing than that.

[susandennis]

And the fan club grows!

Only thing weird to me was it had an aftertaste like kaopectate

[susandennis]

I can't wait to go back to the doctor and tell him I've located the motherlode of happy users!

Thanks for sharing your new manicure. Jacy and I will some day go for gel manicures and I can't wait!

[susandennis]

Be prepared for a lifelong commitment cause, honestly, once you gel, you'll never wanna not!

Yup, totally works for me. In fact, it's about the only thing that works -- I'm allergic to just about every other cough medicine on the market, so it's that or honey (which is TOTALLY psychosomatic, but works sometimes too.)

[kyrielle]

Honey GIVES you coughs. Just ask my three-year-old...we gave him honey for a cough one morning and now he has a cough almost EVERY morning. And pleading eyes. :P

[susandennis]

That's adorable... from afar :)

My seven year old occasionally makes little fakeyfakey coughs and says "mama... I have a little bit-of-honey cough."
