@cindyrue...I agree with irene5 and tdrell. You need facility that will treat the whole body. If you are unable to access the best as tdrell suggests, find a PCP or the lung doctor's PA who will spend more time listening.I also suggest you advocate for yourself by reading about Chronic Cough and suggest Dr. jamie Kaufman's book. In addition I have found more relief from my chinese Dr who practices acupuncture. She treats the whole body and was able to stop my nerve related cough. This may seem weird, but the Chinese believe that lung issues stem from sadness and it helps to get therapy for the terrible loss you've suffered.

This is interesting. I also lost my son several years ago. I was and am still very sad. It is when I started getting sick with MAC.

I did get counseling - Biblical Counseling and it helped me so much. I will get a second opinion.
