My MIL coughs all the time. Wont go to the doctor for it. Wont take any cough syrup. Wont use cough drops. Just coughs and clears her throat. Like 500 times a day.

Not just some little dry nervous cough. Loud fits. Over and over.

My wife started coughing months ago. They finally said she had silent reflux and a hiatal hernia. Treating her with Omeprazole. She also takes over the counter Gaviscon when it gets bad after meals. She also sleeps now with the head of the bed elevated to lessen coughing spells.

I would have to find a way to make an AI video and get this suggestion in her threads feed.

She truly believed sean payton kung fu kicked the ref.

I don't know what this sports show is called or what station it's on but it's generally on in the afternoons at sports' bars and it's some sort of fantasy football show. Never any sound on but every time I look up, there's a grown man jogging in place, bobbing his head, jumping. Did somebody in broadcasting think this was a homerun idea? It's ridiculous. Can you imagine the weatherman doing this?

Are you sure it was a fantasy show and not an old SNL episode with Jason Sudeikis doing the running man in Whats Up With That?

I know I was on some blood pressure meds and one of the side affects was a persistent cough. I would get a tickle in my throat that made me go on a coughing spree for a couple minutes and that would happen a few times a day.

I told my doc about it and he changed meds and they are now gone. Pretty odd side affect and I would never have known about it but my wife figured it out because she was annoyed by my coughing.

Mr R had that side effect one of his meds, too. That had to go.

That happens with ACE inhibitors (drugs that end in "pril"). It would happen to me sometimes when I was first on one, but then it stopped. Odd.

Angiotensin receptor blockers (drugs that end in "tan") are similar (they both act on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system) and are an easy substitution if you can't shake the ACE inhibitor cough.

As someone with a chronic cough (cough variant asthma), for me cough drops cough syrup etc does bupkis.

But i see a Dr for it and do and take everything i can to remedy it.

Could be a bunch of reasons for MILs cough ranging drom acid reflux to allergies to flat out just hating you.

Some people like to suffer.

So a while back my wife asked me to pitch in with the laundry by washing my own clothes. Which has actually worked out well for me as in my opinion she always overloaded the washer, so my clothes get cleaner now. Anyway, she always would take the hangers out of the closet and bring them downstairs, put the clothes on the hangers and carry them back upstairs to put back. With my stuff now I just keep the hangers in place, and anything getting hung up I carry up and then hang at the closet. When I first started I complained we didn't have enough hangers. She disagreed but told me to buy some if I really wanted more, so I did.

She's still constantly raiding my closet for hangers when she does the rest of the laundry. It drives me batty. I have the amount of hangers in my closet that I need. It's not like my clothes are disappearing, so whatever hanger is there without a shirt on it has a dirty shirt somewhere that it is waiting for. I shouldn't have to hunt in the other closets for extra hangers every time I go to put away my clean laundry.
