thanks... wow..yike! cakeladie
I saw the ENT last year or two ago... didn't like him at all... he scared me on purpose. He found nothing... maybe I need a second opinion there, too.
Odd thing is, I've been coughing daily since 2005. I had bronchitis (again) and then was deployed to New Orleans in December to assist Hurricane Katrina victims, where we all got "the Katrina Crud", but I've been coughing ever since. "no reasons found".
but thank you for the suggestion.
I feel like I inhabit a body that is not mine - not the one other people see. How can I have so many symptoms and yet dr's see nothing? My pnurse assures me I am not a hypochondriac, but what else am I to conclude?

That doctor in his office but a scoop in nose and down my throat and found I havee Laryngopharyngeal Reflux or LPR. It has to do with something in your vocal cords etc. One pill a day and most of my coughing is gone weirdest thing ever.
I'll be there for you to. Hang in there
