My yearly cough did not fail to show up this year.  On the contrary, it not only visited, but has stayed much longer than previous years.  It really is a strange phenomenon.  For 5 years in a row (that I can remember), I’ve developed unshakeable cough during late October or mid November.  Thinking back, I even remember having it one winter in college.

At any rate, I finally broke down and went to the doctor yesterday.  I tried a new guy because I was tired of the same ‘ole thing from my other doctor.  His response to some of my ailments were along the lines of “yep”.  Not to mention that he had nothing really helpful for the cough.

The new doctor, on the other hand, seemed very intreagued that this happened every year.  His current leading theory is that it’s some type of allergy.  Sound plausible to me because I’m allergic to about 97% of the things on this planet.  I guess my body gets tired of watery eyes and a runny nose and decides to use a cough during the fall/winter.

So, now I have some codeine to treag the cough and some nasal spray to try to help with the allergies.  Let’s hope that both work!
