@unicorn Crista,
you are on the right track. Please be diligent about your nebulizing; it makes a
huge difference!  -Terri M.
 

@ling123,
I looked it up also. It sounds like good stuff.
 

@irene5 I
suffered migrains too pre-menopause. I took a drug called MAXALT, it was a
miracle drug. It would always work inside of 20 minutes.
 

 @contentandwell,
Hi there! I too suffered migraines most of my adult life (hormone related I am
sure) I used Imitex, which worked well, then I took Maxalt which worked even
better and faster.
 

@tdrell Terri,
I think we all have GERD just about. It seems to go hand in hand with
Bronchiecstasis.
 

@maryjo2sell I
have been in exactly your same shoes. Have you had a recent sputem test for
psuedomonas? That is what made me hack like that for yrs! (along with
MAC) I was put on tobramycin and all coughing went away after one month of
being on it. I have been cough free for 8 months now and lungs are crystal
clear. Dr said Toby doesn't kill MAC just pseudomonas. I take Cipro for the MAC.
Until you can get that tested and cleared up, my go to remedy is Breath Easy Tea
by Traditional Medicinals. It can be hard to find, but I have had luck getting
it at Krogers. It is NOT in the coffee and tea Isle. You have to look in their
natural food isle. The tea has licorice root as first ingredient. that is very
beneficial. it also contains eucalyptus leaf, bitter fennel fruit, pluerisy
root, and other good things. It has worked great for me. It opens the airways,
calms inflammation, and minimizes the phlegm. When the inflammation is knocked
down, the other problems quite down too. I hope you give it a try. Please let me
know if you do and if it helped at all. Big Hug! - Terri M.
 

Thanks @windwalker I will have to make a note of Maxalt and mention it to my daughter. I hate it so much when she is suffering and wish I could be there with her but she is about 4 - 5 hours away.
