I am so sorry you are going through this Rebecca. Is there a possibility of changing your pulmonary Dr. . Doesn't sound like she is willing to work with you. I pray you find the help you need.

I have seriously considered this idea, but because I am with Kaiser Permanente, I cannot get a second opinion within the system without "terminating" my relationship with the first doctor.
So for now, I will out a few more of her newer ideas before I make that jump ( nasal sprays & Azithromycin) and then decide in a few months. I could also just go and private pay at another clinic.
Several people have mentioned in posts that they have prescribed narcotic cough syrup for strictly occasional use and I have not given up on that concept. That may be what drives me to a new provider. Thanks for your encouragement and prayers!
